The crucified loser

I understand the reasons why this movie and the two others in Roy Andersson's 'human-trilogy' are considered semi-classics, but I don't necessarily need to like them. His utterly slow-tempo style with unfocused and stagnant cinematography is recognizable and it has a very laconic Scandinavian sense of humour surrounding the whole thing. I read Sånger från andra våningen uses the works of the Peruvian poet César Vallejo as a recurring motif and the movie certainly looks like a series of disconnected events.
