The Uncle One-Tooth.

Yes.

Excuse me.

How much is this one?

Listen guys,

I don't think this is for us, really.

But thanks for stopping by.

Thank you.

You have no messages.

Would you like another one?

Would you like another one?

- Would you like another one?

- Yes, of course I do.

- He's hard of hearing, poor man.

- He should be grateful.

That way he won't have

to listen to all the bullshit.

A bit a moody today, Gunnar?

What else could I be?

He's been a regular here...

for more than 60 years,

I think.

That's a lot of shots.

Yes, quite a few.

What would life be

without a shot...

or two?

- A horrible thought.

- Damn straight.

A shilling for a shot glass

is the price you have to pay

Good night, Arne.

Good night, Arne!

Good night!

- What?

- Good night!

Good night.

I'm happy to hear

you're doing fine.

I'm happy to hear

you're doing fine!

Yes.

Do you want to say anything?

Tell them I'm also happy

to hear they're doing fine.

He says he's also happy

to hear you're doing fine.

Yes.

I caught it!

Yes, that's correct.

On April 16th,

you received two 10-packs

of vampire teeth, standard size,

and three 10-packs

with extra long fangs.

Yes, that is correct.

You also received

six Uncle One-Tooth.

I see three.

Have you sold the others?

Yes, we have.

- That was a while ago.

- Indeed.

- We haven't received payment.

- Indeed.

Why not?

I'm not sure.

Just a moment.

I'll ask my husband.

He says you'll have it

by next week.

- We don't believe that.

- No, we don't.

- We've sent four reminders.

- Indeed.

And we've called your answering

machine over and over again.

- We won't accept this.

- No, we won't.

Wait,

I'll talk to my husband again.

Just make them go away!

This won't do!

We won't accept this.

I have no money!

- I have no money!

- Then we'll take the masks back.

Roy Andersson

Roy Arne Lennart Andersson (born 31 March 1943) is a Swedish film director, best known for A Swedish Love Story (1970) and his "Living trilogy," which includes Songs from the Second Floor (2000), You, the Living (2007) and A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence (2014). Songs from the Second Floor, more than any other, cemented and exemplified his personal style – which is characterized by long takes, absurdist comedy, stiff caricaturing of Swedish culture and Felliniesque grotesque. He has spent much of his professional life working on advertisement spots, directing over 400 commercials and two short films, but only directing six feature-length films in six decades. His 2014 film A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence won the Golden Lion award at 71st Venice International Film Festival, making Andersson the only Swedish director and the second Nordic director to win the award in the history of the festival, after Danish Carl Theodor Dreyer won in 1955. Andersson is considered one of the most important living European film directors, having four films officially submitted for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film as Swedish entries. more…
