A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting On Existence
Following SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR and YOU, THE LIVING, Roy Andersson's award-winning film (Best Film, Venice Film Festival 2014) is a hilarious black comedy about life, death and what it means to be a human being.
Reviews
“The tone of the film is analogically morbid and pessimistic and affecting and sanguine, emphasising the axiomatic transitory condition of mortality.” – Film Ireland Magazine
“A constant tension between a confined space and the human oddity inside it fuels these vital, moving, and often simply laugh-out-loud creations.” – The Film Stage
“For all the despair and horror on display in A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence, you walk out of it as if on a cloud, light and hopeful.” Vulture
