Oh yes, definitely a different feel, but the style is the most similar I have found. Pigeon has some incredible moments and the humour is pitch black. There are some moments that are so shocking, yet so absurd, it's quite something. I love dark humour, so it's all brilliant for me, but you are right - it's not for everyone, particularly many Americans. There's no upliftment - I suppose that's the Scandinavian way. Another filmmaker I admire is Raul Ruiz, there's no one like him.
