World of Glory

-

Here's a link to Roy Andersson's short film World of Glory. He made the feature film You, The Living a few years back and Songs from the Second Floor before that. Unfortunately he's not very prolific. His films are offbeat and sometimes funny, though not in the uplifting kind of way. World of Glory goes for about 15 minutes and features a terrifying opening scene. Have a look and you'll soon figure out whether he's your cup of tea or not.

There's an interesting interview with Andersson here, from Little White Lies. He talks about not being able to make feature films and what he thinks about his work as a commercials director. Unfortunately he also has some bad things to say about fellow Swede Ingmar Bergman which might come as a surprise to some.
