A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence

Swedish director Roy Andersson’s typically absurdist comedy that follows two hapless novelty salesman on a picaresque tour of the human condition.

The concluding film in what is known as Andersson’s “Living Trilogy”, which includes Songs from the Second Floor (2000) and You, the Living (2007), characterized by bold vignettes that are at times both brilliant and inscrutable.

“The circumstances are grim, but Andersson compels us to laugh at a grand joke - no less than existence itself - and the punchline stings.” ~ERIC KOHN, INDIEWIRE
