Here’s a chance to stream an unusual 2014 film from Swedish director Roy Andersson who explores the theme of being a human being in his black comedy “A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence.” Sam and Jonathan are a pair of novelty salesman, and they’ll take you through a world of both fantasy and reality by way of absurdist episodes including a sing-along at a beer hall and an encounter with King Charles XII of Sweden on his way to battle. The PG-13, subtitled film runs one hour and 40 minutes.
