Every time we get together, we watch some interesting movies and series in the evening. Menschen am Sonntag (labeled People On Sunday in the US packaging) is a 1929 German Weimar-Republic silent film by a group of highly talented filmmakers who would later become famous, including Billy Wilder, Robert Siodmak, Edgar Ulmer, and Fred Zinnemann. It's a film without actors, a plot, a script, or stage makeup. It follows a group of ordinary Berlin working people on Sunday, their day off, and it's amazingly sharp and clear.
