Question: Do both directors of films The Headless Woman (2008 Film) and You, The Living share the same nationality?

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." You, the Living is a 2007 Swedish black comedy- drama film written and directed by Roy Andersson. 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). <SEP> The Headless Woman( Spanish: La mujer sin cabeza) is a 1944 Mexican mystery film directed by René Cardona and starring David T. Bamberg and Manuel Medel. <SEP> The plot revolves around Vero( short for Verónica)( Onetto), who hits something while driving on a deserted road near Salta. Not being sure if she has hit a person or an animal, she drives off, and becomes increasingly mentally disturbed. The film premiered in competition at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival on May 21, 2008. It opened nationwide on August 21, 2008, after being screened at the Locarno International Film Festival earlier that month. The Headless Woman is a 2008 Argentine psychological thriller art film written and directed by Lucrecia Martel and starring María Onetto. While" The Headless Woman" was mostly lauded by critics for its cinematography and social commentary, others were critical towards the film's slow pace and lack of clear narrative. In 2016, the film appeared on No. 89th on BBC's list of the 100 greatest films of the 21st century. <SEP> 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. <SEP> Film scholar Paul Julian Smith wrote in 2015 that she is “ arguably the most critically acclaimed auteur in Spanish- language art cinema outside Latin America ” and that her “ transnational auteurism and demanding features have earned her a hard- won reputation in the world art cinema festival circuit. ”. Similarly, film scholar Haden Guest has called her “ one of the most prodigiously talented filmmakers in contemporary world cinema, ” and film scholar has called her body of work a “ rare perfection. ” In April 2018," Vogue" called her" one of the greatest directors in the world right now". Her 2001 debut feature film" La Ciénaga The Swamp"), about an indulgent bourgeois extended family spending the summertime in a decrepit vacation home in provincial Salta, Argentina, was internationally highly acclaimed upon release and introduced a new and vital voice to Argentine cinema. Lucrecia Martel( born December 14, 1966) is an Argentine film director, screenwriter and producer whose feature films have frequented Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Toronto, and many other international film festivals. David Oubiña called it" one of the highest achievements" of the New Argentine Cinema, a wave of contemporary filmmaking that began in the mid-1990s in reaction to decades of political and economic crises in the country. The film, Oubiña wrote, is" a rare expression of an extremely troubled moment in the nation ’s recent history. It is a masterpiece of singular maturity". Martel's succeeding three feature films received further international acclaim: the adolescent drama" The Holy Girl"( 2004), the psychological thriller" The Headless Woman"( 2008), and the period drama adaptation" Zama"( 2017). <SEP> Carlos Lagrotta was an Argentine actor.
