76 min. Not Rated. Directed by Roy Andersson. Swedish with English subtitles.
About Endlessness is a reflection on human life in all its beauty and cruelty, its splendor and banality. We wander, dreamlike, gently guided by our Scheherazade-esque narrator. Inconsequential moments take on the same significance as historical events: a couple floats over a war-torn Cologne; on the way to a birthday party, a father stops to tie his daughter’s shoelaces in the pouring rain; teenage girls dance outside a cafe; a defeated army marches to a prisoner-of-war camp. Simultaneously an ode and a lament, About Endlesness presents a kaleidoscope of all that is eternally human, an infinite story of the vulnerability of existence.
Includes an exclusive pre-recorded discussion between Andersson and Palme d’Or winning/Oscar nominated filmmaker Ruben Östlund (THE SQUARE, FORCE MAJEURE).
