      You are alive: there are still dreams

      A fat woman sat on a bench complaining: "No one can understand me". "I understand you," her equally fat man responded, but made no further statement. After driving away the man and the dog, the woman looks to the camera and begins to sing a dream song about motorcycles...

      you are still alive

      The little stories, which have no logical relationship with each other, are sad and humorous. The lives of many characters in them are not easy and sad, but the director (also written by himself) is devoted to a kind of detached gaze-this gaze produces humour. The humor that grows out of life's...

      Roy Anderson's laughs really hit me... Madness and rationality are not natural opposites, but man-made - this is one of Foucault's most well-known assertions, and Sontag, after his cancer, A proposition that is repeatedly considered and extended. In 2022, the madness still seems to be spreading. Returning to the film, Roy Anderson uses his usual prose and poetic film language to describe all beings. The film begins with a sentence of Goethe's seemingly unconnected life fragments, which may be absurd or deviant, but together they tell a humorous tragicomedy of love and sorrow between people.

      A group of slow, weird people. An apartment that looks like a train. A movie that makes you cry for no reason.

    You, the Living quotes

    • Mia: Serving non-alcoholic beer with food that smells so good. It's torture!

      Uffe's mother.: I only want what's best for you.

      Mia: Best! Is this what's best for me? Enduring this damned existance... with all the shit and deceit and wickedness and staying sober? How can you expect or even want a single poor bugger to put up with it without being drunk? It's inhuman. Only a sadist would demand that.

    • The psychiatrist: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

      [examines the large stack of patient's files]

      The psychiatrist: I am a psychiatrist. I have been for 27 years. I'm completely worn out. Year after year, listening to patients who aren't satisfied with their lives, who want to have fun, who want me to help them with that - it wears you out, I can tell you. My life isn't exactly a lot of fun either. People demand so much. That's the conclusion I've drawn after all these years. They demand to be happy, at the same time as they are egocentric, selfish, and ungenerous. Well, I would like to be honest. I would like to say that they are quite simply mean, most of them. Spending hour after hour in therapy, trying to make a mean person happy... There's no point. You can't do it. I've stopped doing it. These days, I just prescribe pills. The stronger, the better.
