MOST PEOPLE DIE ON SUNDAYS may be the quirkiest film you see this year …or any year.
Directed and starring Iair Said, and asking the big question: when “ordinary people’’– not extraordinary– die? What happens to those of us who stay here on earth without them?
Funny, outrageous, surprising and utterly unique, MOST PEOPLE DIE ON SUNDAYS, has a deadpan tone that recalls the early films of Jim Jarmusch.
We follow the protagonist David as he returns home to Argentina to attend the funeral of his uncle. This is a story about how people go through a “mourning moment” as they try to survive, with a pain that will transform their lives forever.
As an actor, Said has a sad sack quality of classic screen comics like Buster Keaton and Jacques Tati. And the rest of the cast plays off of Said perfectly.
A sensation when it premiered in the Acid Section at Cannes, MOST PEOPLE DIE ON SUNDAYS is a comic gem that is truly worth searching out.
Join us for a conversation with filmmaker Iair Said, on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, starting now…
