My Favorite Roy Andersson Films (2023 Edition)

by John Charet

Although Giliap can be watched on youtube, one could only watch the version with no English subtitles so I will have to wait to watch that one. Same with the commercials he directed. I watched all of his other stuff on home video or online.
