S (2000)

"maybe we have to start to admit that we have to take responsibility for the circumstances that make us powerless. I believe that the Western way of life suppresses the development of people's potential. If you watch this film, you should understand how stupid human behavior is. Disorder is eating people away, and the situation is getting more and more serious. "─ director Roy Anderson (Roy Andersson) 's ambitious and challenging masterpiece, religion, economy, generational relationships, family, love, and all kinds of issues have been strangely and absurdly distorted, showing a side that the world often turns a blind eye to. Like a monkey, a statue of Jesus who wobbles with one hand on the cross, a mentally degraded old man who celebrates his 100th birthday in front of a room full of ghosts, a father who sets fire to cheat money, a son who writes poems madly and enters the hospital, and a unique visual language. between the seemingly loosely connected scenes, it constructs the deep face of the contemporary world in the director's mind. On a strange night in an unknown place, strange things happened one after another: undignified company employees were humiliated and laid off; immigrants were inexplicably attacked by bad elements and the whole bus stop stood idly by; the magician who played sawing live people really cut open the audience who volunteered to take the stage.
