GILIAP
by Roy Andersson Sweden 1975 35 mm 140 min. OV Engl. ST
Giliap, the new waiter at the gloomy Hotel Busarewsky, unknowingly initiates a peculiar love triangle when he falls in love with a beautiful waitress who may or may not already be involved with a curious Captain-Hook-like character known as "The Count".
Roy Andersson describes the film as his fabulous flop: three years in the making, it went excessively over budget and bombed at the box office in his home country, rendering Andersson persona non grata of the Swedish film industry for 25 years. However misunderstood it was in his home country, the film was praised abroad and makes a beautiful, if perplexing, epilogue to A SWEDISH LOVE STORY.
