Join us for a special conversation on Sunday, September 6. This film’s book pairing, Combined and Uneven Apocalypse by Evan Calder Williams, is available for purchase at Alienated Majesty Books, in person or online.
“SHORT CUTS meets NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD” (Bay Guardian). SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR is composed of forty-six loosely connected vignettes “that, in their own idiosyncratic way, sum up the strange horror of life in the new millennium” (Chicago Tribune). Darkly humorous and unfailingly humanistic, the film is like “an Ingmar Bergman movie as realized by Monty Python” (The Globe and Mail). From director Roy Andersson (A SWEDISH LOVE STORY). The first film in Andersson’s Living Trilogy, with a score by Benny Andersson of ABBA.
