Aidin A Roy Andersson’s World of Glory is a chilling manifesto of human alienation. Stripped of his usual dark humor, Andersson crafts a vision so bleak it feels accusatory. It opens with a horrifying massacre, observed in silence—society as a passive witness. The protagonist stares at us, breaking the wall not for connection but condemnation. No smirks, no irony—only the bitter cry of a dying world. What once felt like dystopia now feels like reality. A short masterpiece, disturbingly prescient. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/25 Full Review Ryosuke N The opening is eyeopening and each scenes are beautifuk, but WTF was that? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Audience Member Those Danish know how to turn their bleak atmosphere into art. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member After a tremendous opening scene in which humanity becomes once again the silent viewer of disgusting atrocities, the films presents the pointless life of people in our days. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7pQG5Iv784 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Roy Andersonâ(TM)s fascinatingly quirky but effectively chilling short about a dystopian future where everything seems very familiar but hides an emotionless totalitarian state that treats citizens like cattle. Sharp stuff, presented in the never failing Anderson style that takes reality and makes it completely dreamlike or nightmarish with subtle alterations. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member one greatest short films i've ever seen! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
