formalfoldingnarrative

continuing to work on folding and creative angles from two positions - formal structures with symmetry and platonic solids and random shapes with the addition of cutting - You the Living - the second part of the trilogy from Roy Andersson is another bleakly beige collection of seemingly unconnected narratives. It really is stunning - Anna played by Jessika Lundberg has a dream sequence after marrying lead singer of a rock band Micke Larsson is truly heart retching and beautiful.  There are so many references and layers to the film that you could watch it over and over with history, politics and art in mind and the connections woven within the films in the trilogy are often slight yet sharp.
