SUMMARY:A PIGEON SAT ON A BRANCH... - 4PM
DESCRIPTION:A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence \nScreening: \nSaturday\, October 17\, 4:00 pm\, \nUptown Theatre\, Screen 4 \nWritten and Directed by Roy Andersson\nSweden/Germany/Norway/France / 2014 / Comedy/Drama / Rated PG for brief sexuality and some disturbing images / Swedish with English subtitles / 100 min. \n“The film’s tone may be one of unrelenting absurdist melancholy\, but Andersson does a dynamite job alchemizing despair into big\, albeit deadpan\, laughs\, and the ugliness and banality of everyday existence into moments of beauty…” – Nathan Rabin\, GLOBE AND MAIL \nMaster Swedish director Roy Andersson takes up the theme of “being a human being” with this meticulously crafted\, dreamlike black comedy. Featuring Sam and Jonathan\, a pair of hapless novelty salesmen\, we are taken on a kaleidoscopic tour of the human condition which unfolds in absurdist episodes: a sing-along at a 1940s beer hall\, a randy flamenco teacher\, a thirsty King Charles XII of Sweden en route to battle\, and a diabolical metaphor for the horrors inflicted by European colonialism. Ultimately\, it is a journey that unveils the beauty of single moments\, the pettiness of others\, life’s grandeur\, and the humour and tragedy hidden within us all. \n
