Swedish director Roy Andersson, known for "Songs from the Second Floor" and "You, the Living," did not direct another feature film for 25 years due to this film's poor box office and critical reception. Roy Andersson admits that the film has flaws, as he did not have enough control over it; he also states that the contemporary audience's appreciation skills were unable to accept such a somewhat avant-garde film, which is stylistically different from his first feature "A Swedish Love Story." He believes this film is as outstanding as Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon," which was released shortly after. From today's perspective, this film is easily accepted as part of the cult genre. In the Swedish TV series "Psycho Tara" from 1996, there is a scene evaluating Swedish cinema, where characters believe Bergman's "Fanny and Alexander" is quite mediocre, while Roy Andersson's "Giliap" is regarded as the only masterpiece of Swedish cinema in the past 25 years.
