Menschen am Sonntag (People on Sunday)
dir. Kurt Siodmak, Robert Siodmak, Edgar G. Ulmer, Fred Zinnemann (1930)
73 min.
German with English Subtitles
“A tale of five young Berliners – a taxi driver, a travelling wine dealer, a record shop saleswoman, a film extra and a model – spending a typical Sunday. In this vivid snapshot of Berlin life, a trip to the countryside reveals the flirtations, rivalries, jealousies, and petty irritations common to any group outing. All too soon it is the end of the day, and the prospect of Monday looms, and the return to weekday routine.
Considered one of the most important works of the German film Avant-Garde of the 1920s, and a huge influence on the French New Wave and Italian Neorealist movements, People on Sunday also marked the start of the film careers of six cinéastes who would go on to great international success.”
