A fine testament to a modern genius - Being a Human Person review by TE
Roy Andersson is a uniquely brilliant film maker, a master at creating superb blends of comedy and tragedy. Sadly Andersson has announced that his 2020 film 'About Endlessness' is to be his last.
This is hardly surprising as he is now 78 years old and his films take a very long time to make. At least we now have this documentary, 'Being a Human Person', to mark Andersson's achievements and to provide insights into his art.
The documentary itself is revealing and engaging. The blu-ray disc also contains some special features which are essential viewing to complement the main film. Mike Leigh's contribution is especially enlightening.
Best of all, this disc drives the viewer back to the films themselves. They certainly repay multiple viewings.
