People on Sunday

‘Seventy-five years ahead of its time‘. Richard Brody, New Yorker. A tale of five young Berliners - a taxi driver, a travelling wine dealer, a record shop sales girl, a film extra and a model - on 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 the weekday routine. One of the key films of the Weimer era, People on Sunday marked the start of the film careers of six cineastes, who would go on to great international successes: Billy Wilder, Robert and Curt Siodmak, Edgar G Ulmer, Eugen Schüfftan and Fred Zinneman. Special Features: New audio commentary by critic and author Adrian Martin Other extras TBC **FIRST PRESSING ONLY** Fully illustrated booklet with writing on the film and full film credits
