Flesh, Mind and Spirit TV Takeover curated by Alejandro González Iñárritu – You, the Living by Roy Andersson
Writer and director Roy Andersson combines understatement to create comedy with an off-key emotional pitch, and a visual clarity that suggests Matisse. His 2007 film is a series of vignettes that play like absurdist melodrama, comedy with an inner life and a stark, simple staging. Though the film is a group of episodes, You, the Living, builds to a satisfying climax. “I love this film. They make me laugh, and think. But they are also art,” Alejandro González Iñárritu says.
You, the Living by Roy Andersson will be screened at the Fondazione Prada on Sunday 17th January at 6:30pm.
