The Magnificent Anders(s)ons - The Look of Reality

Because Roy and Wes Anderson's aesthetics are so jarringly different from most films, they take precedence in so many of the conversations about their work. Instead, I wanted to talk about how those different styles of exaggeration and artificiality are actually utilised to convey ideas that conventional aesthetics can’t.

    Excellent. So rare to see a homage to Roy. In the hope that you will continue to produce work of this quality I have supported you on Patron.

    Being a film scholar, I must say that this is probably one of the best works of film studies I have seen in ages. Lost in scholarly limbo, most modern scholarship only aids the writer to sustain their work. But this study has far more practical potential and therefore isn't merely a means to an end.

    I hope the humour in Roy's movies gets through even to non-Swedish speakers. I recon his films to be very centered on experiences of growing up in Sweden, i.e. how people talked, how people behaved etc, but presented in an extreme way.

    Amazing to see Roy Andersson's work getting the recognition it deserves, his work is truly astonishingly beautiful and honest whilst at the same time being uniquely stylized, but let's not forget there are not two, but three great Andersons working in film right now. He may not be as visually distinctive, but P.T. also understands how to manipulate the film medium to very powerful effect. If I had to name my three favorite working directors I would need only one surname to cover the bunch. Long live the Andersons.

    They are way to different filmmakers. They have nothing to do with each other. Nothing in common except for the similarities of their names

    Excellent analysis! One of the best film essays I have seen in video form on KZread. Roy Andersson's line producer told me about this (I work for Roy on his upcoming film "About Endlessness"). I decided to take a look at the video once I got home, and wow, you managed to go in full detail here. I think everyone working on Roy's film including the director himself appreciated this video.

    Nice touch to have "the left side" only appear in my left earcup, and "the right side" in my right. Never heard of Roy Anderson before, but I love the aesthetic of what you're showing us here! Also, I'm Norwegian, so I can understand his movies without closed captions :D

    This is going to sound really weird, but I've been feeling really down recently. Lost all energy for everything. Particularly, I haven't felt engaged with my passion, film. This video brought that joy back a little. Thank you :)

    That was great! And it also stroke me that Roy Andersson's style reminds me the style of Jacques Tati (especially his 1967 Playtime classic) What do you think about that?

    Roy Andersson is one of my favorite filmmakers. En kärlekshistoria, Sånger från andra våningen, Du levande and his short movies Härlig är jorden and Någonting har hänt are all amazing. En kärlekshistoria does have a totally different style though. Compared to the other ones.
