WORLD OF GLORY - ROY ANDERSSON (1991)

World of Glory (Härlig är jorden) is an experimental short film written and directed by Swedish filmmaker Roy Andersson that, once seen, you will never forget. What exactly it is trying to say I am not completely sure. Is it the utter pointlessness of life and ambition? Is it our subservience to a cruel world? Is it even a direct reference to those living normal lives after committing war crimes? Whatever it is, the opening scene is so excruciatingly horrible and captivating it will leave you pondering. Andersson was born in wartime Europe and was in his late 40s when he made this. He has since moved onto feature films and I suspect that they are similarly unique.
