Plot
A waiter in a hotel and his dreams.
Sinekatalog’s take
Roy Andersson's first major film follows a hotel waiter caught in crime and daydreams in a cool, deadpan, gloomy style. Foreshadowing his later absurdism, it is a bleak, quirky and unusually patient early work.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
