SYNOPSIS: 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.

Das Zusatzmaterial weckt auch Interesse. Da ich den Film nicht kenne, freue ich mich auf diese Veröffentlichung.
Werde zugreifen.

Der Film ist empfehlenswert und man sollte ihn schon gesehen haben, allein schon durch die namhaften Regisseure Curt Siodmak, Robert Siodmak, Edgar G. Ulmer, Fred Zinnemann und das Drehbuch von Billy Wilder. Einmal ansehen hat mir aber trotzdem gereicht, weil er trotz aller Raffinesse irgendwie nicht recht bei mir gezündet ist.

Ob das derselbe helmi ist, der sonst nur in zwei Offtopic-Threads mitmacht?
