People Among Us

1926 · 123 min

A quietly observant silent mosaic of neighbours, full of small human comedy and hardship, that rewards patient attention.

Overview: Gerhard Lamprecht sketches a cross-section of Germany's new post-war society, with its winners, social climbers, and losers, represented by the social microcosm of an apartment building. The gossip-mad Frau Mierig from the rear building gives the newly-arrived Frau Kaminski, the janitor's wife, a lively initiation into the tenants and their peculiarities.
How it feels: Melancholic, satirical, warm and bleak. Measured and needs your attention.
