Alexander Walker10 April 2012

Roy Andersson's Swedish drama shared the prize with the Iranian film Blackboards at last year's Cannes festival.

Surreal wit doesn't add up to a coherent narrative or indeed anything but a series of one-line captions for the laconic visual gags.

Kafka with Nordic overtones best describes the movie; even then hardly does justice to a perplexingly eccentric art-house experiment.
