Episode 185: Roy Andersson (feat. Sean Pierce)

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chicago filmmaker and friend Sean Pierce returns to the podcast to discuss a Swedish director unlike any other. His choice was Roy Andersson and after seeing the majority of his work, I now understand why there is so much acclaim. It’s pretty much nothing but praise all-around particularly for a film that he made early in his career which will also be brought when I talk to Keith Gordon in a week or so. Sean and I had a blast catching up with lots of fun digressions along the way. We should’ve broken this up into vignettes / segments with quirky music in the background but really, Andersson’s films have to be seen to be believed. They’re an acquired taste but both Sean and I hope you acquire it. For the What We Watched segment, we also review I BLAME SOCIETY, IN AND OF ITSELF as well as FALLING & LAST AND FIRST MEN.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:00 - 13:00 - Introduction</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">13:01 - 51:05 - What We Watched This Week</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">51:06 - 52:26 - Director Song</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">52:27 - 01:30:08 - Roy Andersson Discussion</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">01:30:09 - 01:48:59 - A Swedish Love Story</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">01:49:00 - 02:09:49 - Top 3 Films / Outro</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sean’s Work:</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><a href= "https://seanmpierce.com/personal"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://seanmpierce.com/personal</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Patrick’s Work:</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><a href= "https://vimeo.com/user27805792"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://vimeo.com/user27805792</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weigh
