Das jüngste Gewitter: Directed by Roy Andersson. With Elisabeth Helander, Jörgen Nohall, Jan Wikbladh, Björn Englund. You, the Living is a film about humankind, its greatness and its baseness, joy and sorrow, its self-confidence and anxiety, its desire to love and be loved.

“A short review without any spoilers follows.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI saw this movie yesterday at the Cannes Film Festival. My initial reaction is one of wonder and happiness. Iu0026#39;m so happy films like this are being made in our age of blockbusters. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRoy Anderssonu0026#39;s new movie u0026quot;You, The Livingu0026quot; is nothing less than a complete masterpiece. You, The Living is composed by some 50 vignettes filmed with a static camera. I will not give away the content of the scenes here, because I hate when people spoil even the smallest details. But, yes, most of the scenes made the 1000 people in the Claude Debussy theatre absolutely baffled and amazed. When the film was over we applauded for several minutes, we had no other choice.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo whatu0026#39;s the score with u0026quot;You, The Livingu0026quot;. Hm, Andersson isnu0026#39;t afraid to take on the heavy questions; History, guilt, gand The Holocaust during WW2 are big subjects (and these themes work very well together).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe images created are brilliant, the depth sometimes surpasses u0026quot;Songs from the Second Flooru0026quot;. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWell, sorry for this ranting, praising review. Look out for the Flying House in the beginning folks!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e10/10 stars – A Masterpiece (I never throw this grade out).”
