Directors on Directors: Edgar Wright suggests the filmmaker to watch during quarantine
My girlfriend is Swedish, so I’ve been using this lockdown to acquaint myself with many a Svensk Film. One director of whom I was already a fan is Roy Andersson, who made two movies in the '70s, then took 25 years off to make award-winning commercials and came back to the big screen as one of our most distinctive living stylists. If I had to describe his recent films, I’d say it’s like a mix of Jacque Tati, Monty Python, but filtered through a very Scandinavian existential angst.
It’s sometimes like watching a magnificent sketch show beamed from purgatory. The films are beautifully made, too. Every scene is a single composition, with nearly every one constructed in Andersson’s own studio. You can hang every frame from one of his movies on your wall.A Swedish Love Story[1971], a keenly observed snapshot of young love contrasting with the cynicism of older relationships. Jump ahead three decades and just savor his startling, utterly unique trilogy;[2014].
