About Endlessness

If you are in the mood for something kind of quiet and pensive that will move you in a subtle way, this is it.

Funny, tragic, moving scenes unfold in Andersson's meticulously crafted frames.

Roy Andersson is one of our greatest living filmmakers that you never heard of. Here's your chance to dive in.

A diverse expression of universal doubts, insecurities and desires, most of which have to do with loneliness.

The melancholia that courses through this movie is of a piece with its minimalism, notable in the concision of the individual scenes and the overall running time.

Andersson continues to make films that desire to capture no less than a grand sense of human existence - and that somehow achieve it. Here's hoping this one isn't his last.

Andersson depicts fragments of humanity, stitched together with humour and relatability, and without a hint of loftiness or condescension.

Minimalist melancholy... essential Andersson... Andersson’s despair is as heartening as deepest love. Flight is taken.

Andersson isn't saying there is balance, he's saying there are small moments of kindness and joy to cherish.

At least we have Roy Andersson making films to help us laugh and cry at life's absurdities until our energies transform into something new.
