Because Roy and Wes Anderson's aesthetics are so jarringly different from most films, they take precedence in so many of the conversations about their work. Instead, I wanted to talk about how those different styles of exaggeration and artificiality are actually utilised to convey ideas that conventional aesthetics can’t.

Excellent. So rare to see a homage to Roy. In the hope that you will continue to produce work of this quality I have supported you on Patron.

@TheAtoZReviewBlog 7 лет назад

I hope I don't disappoint with my next video and that I'll be able to start making them more consistently with support like yours. Thank you so much!

One more online source where Roy talk about their works with István after they recieved the Venice gold lion, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5N3ILGFu1K8.html

Amazing to see Roy Andersson's work getting the recognition it deserves, his work is truly astonishingly beautiful and honest whilst at the same time being uniquely stylized, but let's not forget there are not two, but three great Andersons working in film right now. He may not be as visually distinctive, but P.T. also understands how to manipulate the film medium to very powerful effect. If I had to name my three favorite working directors I would need only one surname to cover the bunch. Long live the Andersons.

Being a film scholar, I must say that this is probably one of the best works of film studies I have seen in ages. Lost in scholarly limbo, most modern scholarship only aids the writer to sustain their work. But this study has far more practical potential and therefore isn't merely a means to an end.

@Potetsau69 7 лет назад

Nice touch to have "the left side" only appear in my left earcup, and "the right side" in my right. Never heard of Roy Anderson before, but I love the aesthetic of what you're showing us here! Also, I'm Norwegian, so I can understand his movies without closed captions :D

@TheAtoZReviewBlog 7 лет назад

I put that one in for the ear bud aficionados out there! And you're lucky. No matter how much I try, I always feel I'm losing something when I can't understand the language. Watching the documentaries about the making of Songs from the Second Floor and You, The Living, I learned how much I was missing. In a few scenes Roy is directing his actors to change their inflection and I realized I missed most of those nuances.

@austinsurge 7 лет назад

What a lovely introduction to Andersson's work. Thank you!

@Icebears4ever 7 лет назад

Excellent analysis! One of the best film essays I have seen in video form on RU-vid. Roy Andersson's line producer told me about this (I work for Roy on his upcoming film "About Endlessness"). I decided to take a look at the video once I got home, and wow, you managed to go in full detail here. I think everyone working on Roy's film including the director himself appreciated this video.

@TheAtoZReviewBlog 7 лет назад

That's great to hear! Do you know if by any chance Roy saw the video? If he hated (or loved it), that'd go right on my CV! I was actually talking to Alba Lange regarding a new video essay, solely about Roy and in more depth, to go along or close to the release of "About Endlessness", but the project was put on hold until at least next year. When I talk to Studio24 again, I hope I can tell them I have the support of Icebears4ever.

@Icebears4ever 7 лет назад

I sent you an e-mail as a response! Thanks for this video once again.

@ulfkjell 7 лет назад

Some excellent 15 minutes. Tender presentation of the Roy.

@spacefertilizer 4 года назад

I hope the humour in Roy's movies gets through even to non-Swedish speakers. I recon his films to be very centered on experiences of growing up in Sweden, i.e. how people talked, how people behaved etc, but presented in an extreme way.

@bookwormgirl000 6 лет назад

what an excellent video! so fascinatingly structured and analysed, and the presentation of the content is superbly edited. it's a relatively long video, but i was engrossed throughout. thank you!!

@manuelvitali8571 3 года назад

Love you man! I swear, I was just thinking yesterday that somebody should make this video and I can't believe it just popped out today on my homepage!!! these two directors have so much in common ;)

@HENKO_BEATS 6 лет назад

Roy Andersson is one of my favorite filmmakers. En kärlekshistoria, Sånger från andra våningen, Du levande and his short movies Härlig är jorden and Någonting har hänt are all amazing. En kärlekshistoria does have a totally different style though. Compared to the other ones. Wes and Roy, two real artists.

@umbertoflike9995 5 лет назад

Great job guys! 2 of my favourite filmmakers and was a lovely and insightful homage to both.

@thenout 7 лет назад

Boy, that was inspiring. Thank you so much for the great analysis; definitely worth a few re-watches. I'm also gonna check out Roy Andersson, his style seems truly captivating. Keep it up!

@TheAtoZReviewBlog 7 лет назад

That was the goal of the video, to get some new eyeballs on Roy's movies. Awesome!

@TheFragranceApprentice 6 лет назад

I cannot thank you enough, unbelievable effort thank you!

@kloggmonkey 2 года назад

i think you nailed roy andersson's style quite well when you said it's your own mind that does the editor's work, how you can decide for yourself on where your attention takes you. and how that turns you from a passive observer into an active one. i haven't thought of it that way before.

@Kumla4ever 7 лет назад

This is going to sound really weird, but I've been feeling really down recently. Lost all energy for everything. Particularly, I haven't felt engaged with my passion, film. This video brought that joy back a little. Thank you :)

My two favourite directors in one video!!! Sweet! "Du spelar så himla bra Micke!" Might have to go watch Du Levande again, such a long time since I saw that one. Thank you so much for this wonderful video! 😃

@TheAtoZReviewBlog 7 лет назад

This comment warms my heart and lightens the weight of being alive. There might be another video essay in the future, focused solely on Roy. Follow me around the supermarket for updates.

@TheAtoZReviewBlog 7 лет назад

I have to thank them, then! I'm glad you liked it!

@tomasstitny2275 7 лет назад

That was great! And it also stroke me that Roy Andersson's style reminds me the style of Jacques Tati (especially his 1967 Playtime classic) What do you think about that?

@hugowars0376 3 года назад

I belive that the way they both use the space and cinematographic atmospheres indeed have some similarities of course very difrent but i can see your point

I love Roy and Wes Anderson so much! I recently found out about Roy Anderson through his film "A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Contemplating it's Existence" and I fell in love. I wanted to see his other films but I could not find them any where. i tried to buy them but I needed a Swedish DVD player to watch them.

@TheAtoZReviewBlog 7 лет назад

Death to PTA!

@neonatalpenguin 7 лет назад

I like what you're doing here, but I'm pretty sure Wes only read Stefan Zweig for the first time circa 2010.

@TheAtoZReviewBlog 7 лет назад

Yes, I think so too. I really didn't delve into it, because if I focused in too much depth in a lot of things, the video would last for hours. But I think they both have a very particular and very similar way to look at the past. When he started reading Zweig, he just further developed that way of looking back and the story arch in Zweig's writings, with a character telling another character his/her story was the perfect devise for him to go all out on his aesthetics.

@azzouzhassan8721 Год назад

two hacks .: paul thomas anderson and wes anderson one genius : roy anderson

@LosBidels 5 лет назад

They are way to different filmmakers. They have nothing to do with each other. Nothing in common except for the similarities of their names

@TheAtoZReviewBlog 5 лет назад

Then making a 15 minute video out of it is even more remarkable!

@LosBidels 5 лет назад

A remarkable work of illusion less than criticism

@PaulAdler11 4 года назад

It's wild watching this now in 2020 when everyone knows Wes Anderson is a racist hack and Roy is a straight up genius. Your points bolstering Ansersson are all still valid though.

@Bob-uh6gf 4 года назад

Why is Wes Anderson a racist hack?

@dabearcub Год назад

Wes Anderson can’t hold a candle to Roy Andersson.

@kimbozw1808 3 года назад

When one's mother tongue is not english, it is best to speak slowly and clearly so that viewers can understand what is being said. Interesting programme however.
