You, the Living
You, the Living is a 2007 Swedish black comedy- drama film written and directed by Roy Andersson.
The film is an exploration of the" grandeur of existence," centered on the lives of a group of individuals, such as an overweight woman, a disgruntled psychiatrist, a heartbroken groupie, a carpenter, a business consultant, and a school teacher with emotional problems and her rug-selling husband.
The basis for the film is an Old Norse proverb," Man is man's delight," taken from the" Poetic Edda" poem" Hávamál".
The title comes from a stanza in Goethe's" Roman Elegies", which also appears as a title card in the beginning of the film:" Therefore rejoice, you, the living, in your lovely warm bed, until Lethe's cold wave wets your fleeing foot."
The film consists of a fluent succession of fifty short sketches, most with a tragicomic undertone.
The cast is mostly non-professional, and alienating techniques are employed such as presenting the characters in grim make- up and having them talk directly to camera.
The financing was difficult and the shooting took three years to complete.
The film won the Silver Hugo Award for Best Direction at the 2007 Chicago International Film Festival and has received critical acclaim.
It is the second film in a trilogy, preceded by" Songs from the Second Floor"( 2000) and followed by" A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence"( 2014).

Roy Andersson
Roy Arne Lennart Andersson( born 31 March 1943) is a Swedish film director, best known for" A Swedish Love Story"( 1970) and his" Living trilogy," which includes" Songs from the Second Floor"( 2000)," You, the Living"( 2007) and" A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence"( 2014).
" Songs from the Second Floor", more than any other, cemented and exemplified his personal style – which is characterized by long takes, absurdist comedy, stiff caricaturing of Swedish culture and Felliniesque grotesque.
He has spent much of his professional life working on advertisement spots, directing over 400 commercials and two short films, but only directing six feature- length films in six decades.
His 2014 film" A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence" won the Golden Lion award at 71st Venice International Film Festival, making Andersson the only Swedish director and the second Nordic director to win the award in the history of the festival, after Danish Carl Theodor Dreyer won in 1955.
Andersson is considered one of the most important living European film directors, having four films officially submitted for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film as Swedish entries.
