A brief, tranquil morning reading the paper, a quick dalliance with a lover, a peaceful walk through the city, a fun game of catch, a sudden flirtatious glance, or perhaps even a lazy afternoon spread out on a beach. Often we take these trivial occurrences for granted, letting them slip from our minds and memories. Sometimes though, it's in these deceptively simple moments -- the ones we think are unimportant or disposable, the ones seeped in our routines and everyday lifestyles -- that real truth lies. 'People on Sunday,' a 1930 silent film set in Weimar-era Berlin, is a movie about such moments. Shot by a dream-team of young German filmmakers including Robert Siodmak, Edgar G. Ulmer, and Billy Wilder, along with nonprofessional actors and an improvisational, quasi-documentary style of loose narrative structure, the film offers a beautiful window into the past, through an effortless yet still potent rumination on the carefree minutia of weekend life.
