Roy Andersson's "Songs from the Second Floor"

Roy Andersson's "Songs from the Second Floor"

University of Washington Press

sidottu
Swedish filmmaker Roy Andersson's celebrated and enigmatic film Songs from the Second Floor, his first feature film in twenty-five years, won the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000. The "songs" of the film's title refer to Andersson's artistic ruminations on the state of mankind from his office on the second floor of Studio 24 in Stockholm. The film presents a series of forty-six tableaux—long, deep-focus shots with a still camera, mostly in studio settings, using older visual tricks such as trompe l'oeil. The tableaux showcase seemingly trivial tragicomic situations designed to provoke thoughts about existential guilt, broken relationships, and the failure of social institutions to treat people as human beings. Lindqvist draws from interviews with Andersson and his team that provide a behind-the-scenes look at how the film was made and investigates its philosophical and artistic influences, providing a nuanced reading of a film that has both befuddled and entranced its viewers. This first book-length study in English of Andersson's work considers his aesthetic agenda and the unique methods that have become hallmarks of his filmmaking, as well as his firm belief in film's revolutionary function as social critique.

Ursula is the legitimate daughter of the widower Dr Denis Minoret's deceased illegitimate brother-in-law by marriage, Joseph Mirou t; not only is she the doctor's niece, she is also his goddaughter and ward. Fifteen years old when the novel begins, she has been brought up by the doctor. Dr Minoret, an atheist rather than an agnostic, and a devoted student of the Encyclop die, has persisted in his rationalistic atheism for most of his eighty-three years. At the beginning of the novel he is, however, converted to Christianity - emotionally by the example of Ursulea's piety, and intellectually by his experience of animal magnetism, or the paranormal, and by his longstanding friendship with Abb Chaperon. Dr Minoret is determined that Ursula shall inherit all the savings he has accumulated during his lifetime. He intends, on the other hand, to bequeath the remainder (approximately half) of his total fortune of about 1,500,000 francs to his "h ritiers", nephews and cousins of his own bloodline who are members of the Minoret, Cr mi re and Massin families. Discontented with their inheritance prospects, the "heirs" seek to grab the whole of their wealthy relative's fortune, enlisting the help of the notary's clerk Goupil. The doctor conceals a letter of testamentary intention in a legal volume in his library. This, together with three bearer bonds, is stolen by one of the doctor's nephews, the postmaster Fran ois Minoret-Levrault, who, in the era before railways, owns and manages the carriage and postchaise services in and out of Nemours. The doctor dies, leaving Ursula much poorer than he had intended, for her inheritance would have become her dowry. Despite their best efforts - ransacking all the books in his library - the "heirs" (or "family") cannot find the clue to the money. But remorse strikes Minoret-Levrault, and the doctor, appearing to him in a vision, instructs him to make good his theft. By an act of poetic justice the postmaster's dandyish son D sir Minoret-Levrault is killed in a stagecoach accident. Ursula marries the man of her dreams, the young Army officer Viscount Savinien de Portendu re.
