About Endlessness
When
Wed 1 Jul 2026
An anthology encompassing the absurdity, sorrow and hopefulness of human existence. Each of the film’s 32 long takes captures a single unique tableau enlivened by Gergely Pálos’ rich and deeply staged cinematography. As with all of Andersson’s films following his signature style, this is a bittersweet and witty “tonic for listless times” (Stephanie Zacharek).
Preceded by Something Happened Roy Andersson (1987) 24 mins – Unclassified 15+, which began life as an educational film about AIDS, and Obsessions from the Second Floor Nicolas Schmerkin (2001) 27 mins – Unclassified 15+, a documentary about the making of Andersson’s Tati-esque Songs from the Second Floor.
