Songs from The Second Floor (2000)

Wonderfully surreal and absurdist Swedish black comedy that tells many interlocking tales of deathly pale folks trapped in nightmarish situations, all captured on static cameras in claustrophobically long takes.

Uncomfortable and hilarious in just about equal parts, it feels very much like a series of Dali paintings illustrating gags by Franz Kafka.

8.7/10

(The whole film is presently up on YouTube here, though is age restricted so will only play there.)
