You, the Living (Swedish: Du levande) is a 2007 film by Swedish director Roy Andersson. It premiered at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, as part of the Un Certain Regard selection. The film is an exploration on the "grandeur of existence", centered around the lives of an overweight woman, a disgruntled psychiatrist, a heart broken groupie, a carpenter, a business consultant, an elementary school teacher with emotional issues and her rug selling husband, among others. Shot in an unconventional manner, it consists of a fluent succession of exactly 50 short sketches, each filmed in one take. Most of them have a tragicomic undertone. It utilizes a combination of alienating techniques such as presenting the characters in grim make-up and having them talk to the camera, turning them into vessels for the message of the movie.
