Roy Anderson is not like any other filmmaker in the world. He has his own style. While many of the new, fresh film directors choose to edit fast (Spike Jonze as an example), Roy Anderson works with long takes, placing the many stories in one Picture. Oh my god so beautiful.

Roy Anderson doesn't make any story. During the past he has only made three full-length movies including this one. In the meanwhile he has made many award-winning commercial features.

The movie is about many different people who does different things. The next day we'll see how the town reacts to this. Roy Anderson keeps his visual style reminding us of the Gary Larson pictures placing people in odd situations in just one picture. Thats near to what happens here. Sanger från andra våningen. It's probably the best movie of the year 2000 together with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Go see it.

This is just a new show with Otto Jespersen and Trond Kirkvaag which both had their own sucessful shows on Norwegian Television. For people who are not familiar with the Norwegian humour of this kind will probably end up in the E.R diagnosed laugh-non-stop but for people who has seen what these guys can be capable of its just another sitcom.

Have you ever thought that almost every movie you see is bound to be american? Of course I am assuming that you live in the western world and you are living what has been called a perfect life. You go to work in the morning, then you return home to eat, watch maybe a little television or read a book and go to bed. That is how it is Japan too. But Tsukamoto doesn't think that way. He goes BEYOND that. And it isn't pretty whatever he sees. His movies has the same elements every time. Fast Editing and persons at the moment before they get a mental breakdown. Expect a dark, dark movie. He uses symbolism more than american presidents have lied and violence as a metaphore. I shouldn't tell what. This movie is bound to make you think for some weeks. And that can be nice? P.S Be sure not to miss his next film "Gemini". I saw it at Bergen International Film Festival and I am stunned.
