Ulmer, and with a script by Billy Wilder, \u003ci\u003ePeople on Sunday\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eMenschen am Sonntag\u003c\/i\u003e) (1930) is now widely recognised as a landmark of Weimar cinema, which influenced Italian Neorealism and the New Wave cinemas of the 1960s, and set the template for 'indie' filmmaking as we now know it. This is the first study in English of this multi-faceted film, which not only launched the careers of renowned filmmakers, but which continues to influence contemporary culture, with references to it in popular television (\u003ci\u003eBabylon Berlin\u003c\/i\u003e), a playful remake, and a new score by experimental pop group M?m. Jon Hughes' study places the film in its historical context - Berlin in the Weimar Republic - and untangles the fascinating story of the making of \u003ci\u003ePeople on Sunday\u003c\/i\u003e, drawing on new archival research to challenge some of the misconceptions that surround it. Hughes provides fresh interpretations of the film's depiction of space and its play with contemporary gender and sexual politics, and situates it within both Weimar cinema and the later output of the filmmakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon Hughes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 183902755X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839027550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Film Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.48h x 5.32w x 1.00d","brand":"Jon Hughes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46420532035839,"sku":"9781839027550","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_65800dbc-1c7b-42d7-a218-fc90fd5b63b4.jpg?v=1734634906","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/people-on-sunday-menschen-am-jon-hughes-9781839027550","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
