This one takes patience and you have to be sort of in a quiet the mood. If you commit to it, it's devastating beautiful and totally unique. It's by Roy Andersson, who is a cult Polish director. he also directed "songs from the second floor" which is kind of a must see for people that love long, unmoving shots with extremely wide angles lenses and incredibly elaborate sets/lighting. Every scene is more like an epic classical-era painting that moves. He is a genius from another planet (although, arguably, sometimes pretty boring in terms of plot, if we are going to nitpick obscure art films). Watch it for the eye candy with the sub's off or spend a few minutes on youtube going "huh". Also, it's kind of a sin to watch it not in the theater, ya know?
