Sam and Jonathan, who sell novelty toys door to door like the modern era Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, take us on a journey to the fate of humanity. The final film of the trilogy “The Living” that won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival is a dark and funny film filled with absurdities and rage. Like a pigeon that watches us from atop a tree branch, Roy Andersson reveals the ultimate fragility of humanity as well as the small joys, evils, the humor and tragedy within us and the splendor of life.
