Composed of a series of immaculately staged tableaux, Songs From The Second Floor is a stylized black comedy-turned-nightmare. A mysterious urban landscape is home to: a hapless office worker, unceremoniously fired after not missing a day of work in 14 years; a soot-covered furniture store owner who makes a clumsy stab at arson; an endless row of luggage-dragging travellers lined up at the airport; a traffic jam extended to infinity; a magician whose saw-trick goes frightfully wrong. "One of the most highly crafted films in recent memory... Confirms Andersson as a formidable talent working with a total control and freedom equalled only by the late Stanley Kubrick." (Derek Elley, Variety)
