Synopsis

“SHORT CUTS meets NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD” ( Bay Guardian ). SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR is composed of forty-six loosely connected vignettes “that, in their own idiosyncratic way, sum up the strange horror of life in the new millennium” ( Chicago Tribune ). Darkly humorous and unfailingly humanistic, the film is like “an Ingmar Bergman movie as realized by Monty Python” ( The Globe and Mail ). From director Roy Andersson (A SWEDISH LOVE STORY). The first film in Andersson’s Living Trilogy, with a score by Benny Andersson of ABBA.
