You, the Living (Swedish: Du levande) is a
2007 Swedish film written and directed by
Roy Andersson. The film is an exploration on
the "grandeur of existence,"[3] 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 issues 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.[4] 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).
Plot summary
There is no central plot, but some of the
vignettes connect loosely. All the stories
show the essential humanity of the
characters and address themes of life,
existence and happiness.
The film makes repeated use of distinctive
cinematic techniques. One of these is dreams
and how they reflect the fears and desires
of the characters. Another is the use of
music, in conjunction with dialogues and
editing, both as background music and as
performed on camera. The film starts with a
monologue which ends up being sung to
Dixieland jazz music being played by lone
musicians, each in a different room in a
different part of the city.
Stories in the film include:
A middle-aged woman (Elisabeth Helander)
laments her misfortunes while being
completely self-absorbed. Her boyfriend
(Jugge Nohall) tries to comfort her and
invites her to dinner. The woman later
rejects an admirer in a trenchcoat (Jan
Wikbladh) who tries to give her a bouquet of
flowers.
A carpenter (Leif Larsson) has a dream in
which he is condemned and executed for
breaking a 200-year-old china set while
trying to perform the tablecloth trick.
A pickpocket (Waldemar Nowak) steals the
wallet of a high roller (Gunnar Ivarsson) at
an expensive restaurant before he has paid
the bill.
A psychiatrist (Håkan Angser) has lost faith
in people''s ability to be happy because of
their selfishness, and now only prescribes
pills.
A business consultant (Olle Olson) gets his
hair butchered by an angry barber (Kemal
Sener) before attending a meeting where the
CEO (Bengt C. W. Carlsson) dies of a stroke.
A sousaphone player (Björn Englund) earns
money by playing in funerals, including the
one of the CEO.
A girl (Jessika Lundberg) finds her musical
idol Micke Larsson (Eric Bäckman) in a
tavern. He invites her and her friend for a
drink, but ditches her by giving her the
wrong directions to his band rehearsal. A
while later at the tavern, she tells the
people at the bar of the dream she had about
him. In the dream, they have just married,
and their apartment building travels on a
railway into a station where people cheer
for the happy couple.
A husband and wife (Pär Fredriksson and
Jessica Nilsson) have a fight and they both
dwell on it, causing them to get into
trouble at work.
The film ends with a montage of characters
who stop in the middle of everyday chores to
look up into the sky. Dixieland music is
once again played as the camera is put on
the wing of an airplane. A large formation
of B-52 bombers appears in front of the
camera as they fly menacingly in over a
large city. This bookends with the opening
scene where a man wakes up and tells the
audience that he had a nightmare about
bombers coming.
