Now Showing: ‘ABOUT ENDLESSNESS’

“Andersson continues to make films that desire to capture no less than a grand sense of human existence – and that somehow achieve it.” — Alison Willmore, New York Magazine

We invite you to watch the latest from from beloved Swedish director Roy Andersson, ABOUT ENDLESSNESS.


ABOUT ENDLESSNESS

Directed by Roy Andersson
(2019, Sweden/Germany/Norway, 76 minutes)
Available May 7-13, 2021 (from anywhere in the U.S.)

“Cumulatively exhilarating.” — The New York Times

A reflection on human life in all its beauty and cruelty, its splendor and banality.

We wander, dreamlike, gently guided by our Scheherazade-esque narrator. Inconsequential moments take on the same significance as historical events: a couple floats over a war-torn Cologne; on the way to a birthday party, a father stops to tie his daughter’s shoelaces in the pouring rain; teenage girls dance outside a cafe; a defeated army marches to a prisoner-of-war camp.

Simultaneously an ode and a lament, ABOUT ENDLESSNESS presents a kaleidoscope of all that is eternally human, an infinite story of the vulnerability of existence.
