The end-of-the-world phenomenon of lack of faith.
Father who set fire to defraud, son who wrote poetry and was admitted to a mental hospital, passers-by's disregard for violence, magician's mistake sawing volunteers' stomachs, disorder of city traffic, bloodless faces, abandonment of icons, priests complaining The loss of interest...

Roy Anderson was born in Sweden in 1943. In 1968, Roy Anderson was studying film at the Swedish Academy of Drama in Stockholm. During the holidays, he began to participate in filming a film about social and political events. After returning to school, a teacher named Bergman took him aside and advised him not to get involved in political films. In 1981, he established a studio called "Studio 24" in a dilapidated building in Stockholm, which divided offices, dressing rooms, equipment storage rooms, editing rooms, and a small screening room for watching samples. Here he made 2 short films and some commercials.
"Singing from the Second Floor" originally just wanted to tell the story of a father and son. The son is a poet and wants to recite the poems of Sese Valev. There are about ten people on the filming team for this film, and everyone has to share a lot of work. They used 35mm cameras to shoot the "samples" of the pre-deduction and rehearsal, and these people were basically taking the position.
The execution of a pair of brothers and sisters in the film originated from the Nazi brutality in 1942. This black and white picture of the brutality became a permanent memory of Roy Anderson when he was 15 years old.
Almost all films are fixed shots.

    Unemployment, discrimination, violence and indifference, pedantic magic, marriage, traffic paralysis, fraudulent insurance money, poetry and reality, religion, real power, the living dead and ghosts... the film shows us with absurd stories and symbolic scenes. He is dissatisfied with "humanity, society, and religion". The chaotic life makes our souls numb.

    Still the signature expressionless Roy Anderson standard expression, a pale walking corpse-like modern man, sitting in a bar with a dull-eyed man, writing poetry is tantamount to a crazy act, carrying "wealth" that is difficult to move, Faith has long been abandoned, and the Christ on the cross is crumbling. I am a little worried that the film's overly straightforward criticism will not anger religious groups; Flogging the marching team, watching Anderson's films have different "narratives" in different scenes, and desertions are not allowed
