Our take

Swedish auteur Roy Andersson won the Silver Lion for Best Director in Venice for his sharp outlook on the absurdity and vulnerability of human experience. Behind deadpan scenes of melancholy and cruelty, one can find shining glimpses of hope and compassion: a sublime elixir for our disillusionment.
