Review of A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence (2014) by Tor M — 08 Jan 2016
Have not seen the first two parts of the trilogy in years, but as I remember them they all seem so alike, but that's not a bad thing. I dig the man and his films. "En kärlekshistoria" is the most typical one - or less weird, but that's an amazing film too.
Anyhow, here he continues where he left of. In the bleek, cold, horrible world of nothingness. Everything is so flat and boring that every little thing that the looser characters does makes a huge impact on the scenes. They often speak or behave weirdly and that makes it even better.
This film (or trilogy) is so unique. Absurd, and the random stories that never seem connected are all a treat. The static filming is there, with flat, long scenes. Hillarious and beautiful - both are total antonyms of what we are treated with. That's the films biggest feature for me - very impressive stuff! Loads of memorable scenes, all of them perfected. I guess that's what 214 re-takes can do. Cool with an Alf Prøysen song too.
One of the most anticipated films for me the last five years or so and it delivered.
8.5 out of 10 horses in bars.
