I happened on this film whilst researching for a book - and what a find!
This is 1930 and people had only just discovered how to make films. No sound. But this movie tells its superb little story in images and facial expressions. It's really marvellous to see how this is achieved. A very superior piece of film making - even before they really learned how to do it. This is Art.
Somehow - through just beautiful photography, excellent acting and editing People on Sunday does its work. It captures a mystique about Berlin in the 1930's. What a place it must have been! It also tells us much about the human condition in and around the metropolis. And all this in a silent movie. Fantastic!
This is a film to watch again and again, a wonderful movie!
