Often mentioned alongside Ingmar Bergman, master director Roy Andersson completes his “living” trilogy following Songs from the Second Floor (2000) and You, the Living (2007). The film follows two world-weary travelling salesmen–like modern times’ Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, they provide an insight into a chaotic world of the present, past and future. At once absurd, harsh, surreal, raging, darkly comic, and disturbing, A Pigeon... reminds us of the grandeur of life, the vulnerability of man and its impending doom, like a pigeon perched on a branch.

Giorgio de Chirico was born on July 10, 1888, in Volos, Greece, to an Italian family. His mother, Gemma Cervetto, was from a family of Genoa origin, but most likely she was born in Izmir. His father, Evaristo, was born on June 21, 1841 in the Büyükdere district of Istanbul.
Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
In 1493, exactly 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was finishing the preparations for casting the equestrian monument (4 times life size), which Ludovico il Moro, Duke of Milan commissioned in memory of his father some 12 years earlier.
