A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence

The showmakers

Roy Andersson
Göran Holm

Overview

An absurdist, surrealistic and shocking pitch-black comedy, which moves freely from nightmare to fantasy to hilariously deadpan humour as it muses on man’s perpetual inhumanity to man.

Indie vibes check

Roy Andersson’s film was self-financed over many years and developed outside major studio systems, making it an independent work.
