The main set of recurring characters, a pair of stone-faced aspiring salesmen vainly attempting to generate interest in their briefcase full of useless party favors, wander through various local businesses like engines of pure slapstick comedy. Even so, as they attempt to engage potential clients with their assortment of laugh bags, monster fangs, and a rubber mask inexplicably called “Uncle One-Tooth,” their despair resonates. Andersson encourages laughter at their sorrowful state while empathizing with it.
In the midst of all this absurdity is a potent illustration of the disconnect between powerful forces and the citizens they govern, not to mention the ways in which history and mythology continue to mandate contemporary society. At the same time, Andersson’s sophisticated tapestry defies interpretation, inviting us to just roll with the weirdness.
