Synopsis

A voice, warm and heartbreaking—Brisseau's own—winds through black and white images. The tone is established quickly: "To wake up is to be born again in the world of despair." *On Sunday Afternoon* is a film that is at once clinical and theoretical in its exploration of melancholy, in the strong sense of the ancient Greek concept of "black bile." The filmmaker appears to aim for a full transformation of the theme, moving from its tragic to its psychological dimensions, culminating in a long quotation from Freud's *Mourning and Melancholia*.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
