People on a Sunday

"A tale of five young Berliners - a taxi driver, a travelling wine dealer, a record shop sales girl, a film extra and a model - spending a typical Sunday. In this vivid snapshot of Berlin life, a trip to the countryside reveal 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" -- Container.

  • "A silent film that follows five city dwellers as they enjoy a weekend outing in Weimer-era Berlin."
  • ""Twenty-four hours in the lives of a group of Berliners on a day's outing, including a taxi driver, a salesman, a shopgirl, and a model. ... [A] fresh, humorous and romantic semidocumentary (the people involved re-enact their real-life roles), shot in a freewheeling style on location"--Faber companion to foreign films, 1992."
  • ""Years before they became major players in Hollywood, a group of young German filmmakers-including eventual noir masters Robert Siodmak and Edgar G. Ulmer and future Oscar winners Billy Wilder and Fred Zinnemann, worked together on the once-in-a-lifetime collaboration People on Sunday (Menschen am Sonntag). This effervescent, sunlit silent, about a handful of city dwellers (a charming cast of nonprofessionals) enjoying a weekend outing, offers a rare glimpse of Weimar-era Berlin. A unique hybrid of documentary and fictional storytelling, People on Sunday was both an experiment and a mainstream hit that would influence generations of film artists around the world"--Container."
  • ""Marking the debuts of such talents as Billy Wilder, Fred Zinnemann, Edgar Ulmer, Robert and Curt Siodmak and cinematographer Eugene Schufftan, People on Sunday is a revelation. It's an inventive and naturalistic account of ordinary working types on their day off (filmed only on Sundays of course) and really is as an unheralded pinnacle of silent film in its mix of documentary and naturalism.""

  • "A group of city dwellers enjoy their weekly Sunday outing."
  • "A pioneering low budget semidocumentary, using nonprofessional actors, centring on two couples spending a holiday in the countryside around Berlin. "Man with a movie camera," filmed by the Russian Dziga Vertov on actual locations with nonprofesssionals, was a particular inspiration to the filmmakers. DVD."
