"You, the Living" is my favorite (though it's close) - might be the balance of Roy Andersson's images with Benny Andersson's music, especially the tuba. An elderly man not aware that he's dragging a dog to bombers flying overhead all set against dixieland - genius! And, Roy Andersson's early commercials are priceless!
I have two weeks left on a "3 months for $1" Mubi subscription so we may watch this. If you get Mubi you might enjoy maɬni Towards the Ocean, Towards the Shore by Sky Hopinka who just won a MacArthur grant. My husband and I had different reactions to it.

Sounds like a favorite director of mine, Bill Forsyth!
