By Matt KelleyIf you're not familiar with the work of Roy Andersson, you probably aren't Swedish. His first feature film, En k rlekshistoria (distributed as A Swedish Love Story in the U.S.), premiered in 1970. Influenced by the Czech New Wave, En k rlekshistoria recounts the love between two working-class young people set against the backdrop of the perfect summer. Andersson was just barely out of film school at the time of it's release but that had virtually no effect on the film's major critical and commercial success. Forty years later, the film is still quite often found on the 'most popular films' shelf in many Swedish video stores.Aside from his debut film's unprecedented achievements, success wasn't all lollipops and puppy dogs for Andersson. When producers pressured him to make sequels or at least repeat the formula of En k rlekshistoria, Andersson fell into a deep depression and took a long break from filmmaking. Five years later, Andersson released his second feature film, Giliap, but the film went wildly over budget and was considered a financial disaster. Critics and audiences alike didn't understand Giliap and box office sales were very low. The film was an overall failure that nearly cost Andersson his directing career. Unable to find work, Andersson nearly turned his back on making films altogether. Just as he was about to give up, Andersson got a job offer and soon he began shooting commercials for a Swedish based insurance company called Tyrgg Hansa. With a family to support, Andersson was willing to take whatever work he could find. During the next leg of his career, Andersson shot hundreds of television commercials that would soon define his unique directing style. He would not direct another feature film for 25 years.Collection: Roy Andersson Commercials
