I really liked the stupid salesmen. They captured and summarised the idea of the movie quite well I think. Much of the Swedish humour was lost on me, and I could not place the dance instructor's lust in my understanding of the movie. I gathered the idea was to capture various human 'enjoyments', both mundane and otherwise, and place them against the effects and roles of economy in life. Besides the scene in the bar where quasi-sexual payment was accepted instead of money, it led to sadness or lack of emotion everywhere.

4/10 Multiple scenes really dragged it out, it stretched my patience quite a bit. I laughed a couple of times but I didn't like it very much

While i'm still waiting for his latest film *About Endlessness* to hit home video, i've been rewatching Roy Andersson's past work once more. The concluding film of his "Living" trilogy about the vastness of human experience is yet another touching masterpiece by one of european cinema's greatest artists, simultaneously funny, sad, puzzling and - like all of his films post-hiatus - visually one-of-a-kind. If you aren't familiar with Roy Andersson's work yet, be prepared for a captivating new experience unlike anything else in contemporary film.
