Description

"Grade: A. The Funniest Movie of the Year." -Indiewire

"Every stroke of Roy Andersson's cinema is a wonderful sonic canvas that reveals our fragile humanity. It has a unique pace, vision and imagination without losing the beauty of the realism that surrounds it." -Alejandro González Iñárritu

"It builds to an ineffable beauty so sublime that you might have a hard time remembering what it is that other films are even trying to accomplish." -David Erlich, Time Out NY

"Truly astounding. Andersson is an artist to treasure." -Nicholas Barber, BBC.com

Alejandro González Iñárritu and Darren Aronofsky present the latest from Swedish master Roy Andersson. Like his previous features SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR and YOU, THE LIVING, Andersson takes up the theme of "being a human being" with PIGEON..., a meticulously crafted, dreamlike black comedy.

Sam and Jonathan, a pair of hapless novelty salesman, take us on a kaleidoscopic tour of the human condition in reality and fantasy, unfolding 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. It is a journey that unveils the beauty of single moments, the pettiness of others, life's grandeur, and the humor and tragedy hidden within us all. Critics' Pick, The New York Times.
