'Sundays' profiles three Englishmen. Jim has been running his candlelight ballroom dances for 21 years, Colin is an MG enthusiast who likes nothing more than to get out onto the open road on a Sunday afternoon, and David thinks Sundays should be banned.
This was a lovely little film but I had trouble with the audio. I know with doc-style shooting it is a bit of a problem but the bass made some of it unintelligible. Nevertheless, I thought it was well filmed and a good subject matter. Great little short.
I liked this and laughed out loud at the ballroom dancers doing the classic POV dance partner thing, but stilted....the way things were overlapped, sound and image, worked well, especially the guy who hates sundays ranting about an abyss during more shots of the ballroom dancers. I think british films, of all kinds, are often too linear and boring; they don't do cross-cutting and they don't play around with image and sound as much as, say, good american films do.... so, nice to see some of that here.
