A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting Upon Existence Blu-Ray   Artificial Eye

The final part of his highly acclaimed 'Living' trilogy, Roy Andersson's A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence takes another sly, humorous and wholly original look at the absurdity of life. Two travelling salesman who trade novelty items traipse glumly from one joke shop to another failing to make a living, teacher-student relationships repeatedly become inappropriate at a flamenco dance lesson, and King Charles XII of Sweden drops by a bar with an 18th century army in tow, looking for a lover and a modern day peasant to punish. This is the skewed and unique world of Roy Anderson where disparate segments of humanity are exhibited and coalesce to form a poignant and darkly funny commentary on society and how we should ultimately embrace it.
