On the outskirts of a Swedish city, a crowd watches as naked men, women, and children are herded into a lorry and driven to their deaths. A plain, middle-aged man turns to the camera. He begins a guided tour of his life, showing his loveless marriage, dull job, and mundane day-to-day activities.
A prelude to the director’s acclaimed studies of human alienation, this magnificent short from Swedish master Roy Andersson is shattering yet darkly ironic. Unfurling in drab domestic and public spaces, World of Glory lays bare the grotesque numbness of a man’s life, and modern society at large.
