The Magnificent Anders(s)ons - The Look of Reality

[@Tararu3500]

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]

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!

[@ernonagy5926]

One more online source where Roy talk about their works with István after they recieved the Venice gold lion, kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3-Wen99e9pkgZo

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]

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]

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]

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

[@Icebears4ever]

Excellent analysis! One of the best film essays I have seen in video form on KZbin. 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]

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]

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

[@ulfkjell]

Some excellent 15 minutes. Tender presentation of the Roy.

[@spacefertilizer]

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.

[@sclogse1]

This kind of quality should be on PBS. Bravo.

[@kloggmonkey]

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.

[@HWhite-hc5ge]

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 :)

[@pangdogmichael]

came across the ''living trilogy'' on imdb. amazing work

[@HENKO_BEATS]

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.

[@manuelvitali8571]

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 ;)

[@mellowthebear]

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]

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.

[@kloggmonkey]

anna och micke ha det så bra! anna och micke ha det så bra!

[@thenout]

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]

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

[@bookwormgirl000]

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!!

[@cole2714]

Great video Essay! Cinephilia & Beyond sent me.

[@TheAtoZReviewBlog]

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

[@mfiorentino]

A magnificent video of two magnificent directors. Thank you!

[@ernestoA2]

carry on making such video essays they're great!

[@TheAtoZReviewBlog]

I'll think about it.

[@ramakrishnadhanasekaran6102]

Excellent! Lovely! Beautiful! Thanks for this work, BTF !

[@YFFMC]

Just discovered you channel today! Amazing stuff, I hope you can keep it up.

[@TheAtoZReviewBlog]

I tried, but it was hard. I'll publish one video in this channel next month, but in the meantime I'm doing some work for other publications. You can follow them here: facebook.com/beyondframe/

[@umbertoflike9995]

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

[@Kumla4ever]

Amazing video!! Two of my all time favorites. Really interesting stuff. Keep up the good work!

[@TheAtoZReviewBlog]

Pay me.

[@TheFragranceApprentice]

I cannot thank you enough, unbelievable effort thank you!

[@kwane5241]

bloody amazing job! lovely essay my friend! bravo!

[@adriancarmody8942]

A quite wonderful piece. Thank you for sharing your views, so fascinating

[@tomasstitny2275]

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]

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

[@Janen74]

Great analysis! Thank you so very much for this!

[@tysear9573]

Awesome stuff man, loved it. Subbed.

[@samwallaceart288]

I like your trick of letting the artists cut you off mid-sentence. That must be tricky to edit.

[@markiep8477]

Wow. This is fantastic work. Keep it up!

[@Alibotify]

Really good, love how you delved into Roy!!

[@TheAtoZReviewBlog]

I love me some delving!

[@cometconfetti]

Wonderful, as always. I'm always looking forward to your videos and Wes Anderson is one of my favorite directors. So you can imagine my double excitement. ^^

[@LucasPreti]

Ok man, seriously, outfuckingstanding work

[@gregbutler3546]

Thanks for the introduction to Wes Andersons work. I plan to seek out all of his films now.

[@yee_kermit]

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.

[@sclogse1]

check ebay

[@emperorpicasso8732]

AMAZING VIDEO. SUBSCRIBED.

[@bramsta]

Excellent work!

[@walterh2113]

I see what you did there in the end.

[@TheAtoZReviewBlog]

Walter Hulsebos what have I done?!

[@sclogse1]

The patreon line, I think.

[@goldenteacher2011]

Great analysis, cheers!

[@frenandin]

Love both directors, loved the video. You just got a new subscriber. BTW, any chance you're brazilian or portuguese?

[@TheAtoZReviewBlog]

Os meus pais dizem que não é por acaso. Sou português de propósito!

[@frenandin]

Hahahaha Além de tudo, é engraçado! Um brasileiro aqui, aguardando ansiosamente o próximo vídeo. Grande abraço.

[@TheAtoZReviewBlog]

Espero acabá-lo esta semana. Abraço!

[@milhuisen]

Great stuff.

[@NickySmartFLA]

Brilliant video.

[@asadbaig4422]

Artfully done!

[@jockrobertson9731]

This video is choice! any chance you could send me in the right direction of where you got the footage for the making of moonrise kingdom?

[@XxKherxX]

Really nice! Thank you!,

[@AiresMeneses]

Muitos parabéns por mais um excelente trabalho.

[@TheAtoZReviewBlog]

Muitos obrigados!

[@ThickishCheese]

You, the living is amazing!

[@caleokieh792]

Thank You.

[@LosBidels]

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]

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

[@LosBidels]

A remarkable work of illusion less than criticism

[@granthall1235]

This was awesome dude. Do you use After Effects to make these videos?

[@TheAtoZReviewBlog]

Thanks, duderino! Yeah, I use for the lower thirds and a few of the animations. Trying to get better at it without, you know, destroying my computer!

[@kartikjain7105]

which is the Richard Linklater , Wes Anderson interview ??

[@Enigmalake]

I am seasoned! 😊

[@neonatalpenguin]

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

[@TheAtoZReviewBlog]

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.

[@PaulAdler11]

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]

Why is Wes Anderson a racist hack?

[@PushkinAbbott1997]

Hii, great video essay! Could someone please help me and tell me who was the initial influence he mentions at 1:08?

[@TheAtoZReviewBlog]

Vittorio de Sica

[@gbossaboy]

I would love to know which film the scene with the large crucifix's is from at (0.14 in the video)???

[@vinrod4]

It's Sånger från andra våningen/Songs from the second floor.

[@azzouzhassan8721]

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

[@maimohamed3590]

Wow✨😍🙌

[@blazayblazay8888]

VINCE STAPLES THINKS HE’S SO COOL

[@Zulalula]

what about Paul Thomas Anderson

[@TheAtoZReviewBlog]

Death to PTA!

[@otiagomarques]

muito bom!

[@TheAtoZReviewBlog]

Obrigado!

[@dabearcub]

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

[@cegalo12]

Paul Thomas Anderson > Roy Andersson > Wes Anderson

[@kimbozw1808]

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.

[@azzouzhassan8721]

u compare a puppet to a dinosaur shame on you

[@niallflynn6351]

What about Paul Thomas
