PREVIEW
A myriad of characters and stories, only connected by theme, are the basis of Roy Andersson's (Songs From The Second Floor) You, The Living. Boasting a rakish wit, the 'plot' follows downtrodden, self-obsessed people who are unaware of their imminent doom. Influenced by Jacques Tati and Ingmar Bergman, You, The Living might be a little too niche to have wide appeal, but it certainly promises to be the highlight of someone's weekend.
