Roy Andersson
Nascimento : 1943-03-31, Gothenburg, Västra Götalands län, Sweden
História
Roy Andersson (born 31 March 1943) is a Swedish film director, best known for his films A Swedish Love Story (1970) and Songs from the Second Floor (2000). More than any other, Songs from the Second Floor succeeded in cementing his personal style – a style characterized by long takes, absurdist comedy, stiff caricaturing of Swedish culture and Felliniesque grotesque. He has spent much of his professional life working on advertisement spots, directing over 400 commercials and two short films, but only directing four feature-length films in three decades.

Self
Durante um período de 6 anos, no meio do século 20, algo insuperável aconteceu. Um sueco magro, por volta dos 40 anos, entra em um período de produção cinematográfica sem precedentes. Entre 1957 e 1963 ele dirigiu alguns dos maiores clássicos da história do cinema, produziu uma série de espetáculos para teatro e rádio, e dirigiu 6 filmes de TV. Em termos de cineastas contemporâneos, Ingmar Bergman permanece em grande parte inigualável, e sua vida está prestes a se revelada nesse documentário que celebra o seu centenário.
Himself
Harry Schein was an anomaly in Swedish cultural society. Equal parts playboy, intellectual, and political visionary, his life story could very well be the foundation of a Hollywood film. Citizen Schein is a film about a refugee who refused to look back, a film about powerful men, and the myths that fuel them.
Screenplay

s a 2011 documentary about Swedish film director Roy Andersson and his unique way of making films. Shot during the four-year-long filming Andersson's 2007 film You, the Living, the documentary is a personal description of a surprising and different approach to the creative process. Roy Andersson has invented a working method of his own in order to achieve control over the work in process, but he is ultimately dependent on his young co-workers.
Himself
Gothenburg Film Festival's new honorary chairman Roy Andersson talks about the adversities after the film "Giliap", revealing that he does not always think it's so much fun. A backlash can instead be a boost for creativity.

Num fim de tarde, algures no nosso hemisfério, tem lugar uma estranha série de acontecimentos ilógicos: um amanuense é despedido de modo degradante; um imigrante perdido é atacado violentamente numa rua movimentada; um ilusionista comete um erro no seu número... Pelo meio de toda esta loucura, há uma pessoa que se destaca: Karl, coberto pela fuligem do incêndio que ateou para destruir a sua loja de mobiliário e ficar com o dinheiro do seguro. O sono não vem calmamente esta noite aos cidadãos desta cidade. No dia seguinte, os sinais do caos começam a instalar-se, com a loucura a manifestar-se num conselho de administração, e a própria cidade estrangulada por um engarrafamento terrível.

In a minor town the morose manager is primarily responsible for the bad atmosphere of a restaurant. But central for the plot are three persons: a male waiter who is never named (here called W), the female waiter Anna, and "the count", a self-invented nickname by a man cleaning plates. The count is skilled in making others do what he wants. Half a dozen of the personnel assist in a poorly planned and failed attempt to liberate a man whom the police move from one arrest to another. The event involves stealing a motorcycle and threatening policemen with a gun. Anna strongly tries to make contact with W. Finally it turns out that she need his help to break her sexual relation to the count, a relation that from her part is not motivated by positive feelings. W rejects her attempts. And then Anna has suddenly gone. She has got a pleasant job in another town. And then W's feelings awaken.
