  Directed and written by Roy Anderson (Songs from the Second Floor).

  From Metromix:  "Bleakly hilarious while covering the same apocalyptic ground, You, the Living finds a cast of characters from all walks of Swedish life doing their best in the face of continued antagonism."
  From allmovie:  "Filmmaker Roy Andersson draws the viewer into the world of a woman whose most uplifting moments are always balanced by tragedy, and whose joy is constantly offset by sorrow. In laughing along at the good times and shedding a tear at the bad, the comic tragedy of life manifests itself in a manner that all can surely relate to."
 
  Here's a good one from lafilmest.com:  "Roy Andersson's long-awaited follow-up to Songs from the Second Floor is as bizarre as expected while also one of this year's most inventive and hilarious films.

Set in the same washed-out, downtrodden universe as its predecessor, Andersson's fable of a world full of Blue Mondays is structured like a symphony, with a wide cast of characters each contributing their forlorn dreams and complaints in beautifully designed tableaux: a tuba player in a funeral marching band has sex with a woman in a kaiser's helmet, but can't stop relating his investment troubles to the audience; a young girl dreams of blissful marriage to the guitarist of a local punk band, waving to crowds as her apartment building rolls out of town like a train; a working class slob is sentenced to death for breaking the dishes. You may find yourself smiling through your tears at possibly the gentlest film ever made about the end of the world."

  There's this great picture of a man with a walker dragging a dog on a leash that's in the print version of Metromix but isn't on their website I wish you could all see.  From the little bit of information I found on the movie it sounds like it'll be in the same vein as Songs from the Second Floor.  Can't wait.
 
Raven haired Linda and her school mate Linnea are studying after school, when their desires take over and they kiss and strip off their clothes. They take turns fingering and licking one another's trimmed pussies on the desks, then fuck each other to intense orgasms with colorful vibrators.
