People on Sunday

About This Movie

So, 'People on Sunday' (2020) is really interesting. It’s this contemporary take on the classic 1930 silent film, and it gives off this vibe of casual discomfort. You see, the film dives into the absurdity of people trying to relax while being filmed. The crew is just stuck, waiting, scrolling on their phones, which kind of mirrors our own distractions. I like how it plays with time - the pacing feels almost stagnant, but in a good way. The performances are subtle, reflective of the ennui that comes with modern life. Tulapop Saenjaroen’s direction flirts with the boundaries of reality and performance, drawing you into this almost dreamlike atmosphere. Definitely a piece that encourages thought, not just another film to pass the time.
