Something of an endurance test.
2 August 1999
During one day, we follow the lives of a couple of people who all live in the same apartment block in Tokyo. There's a young bored couple, an old crazy lady, a young bullied swot and a self-absorbed female caretaker.

Beautiful Sunday is more a work of art than a portrait from real life. It depicts a story like a series of stills. The dialogue is sparse, the scenes are long drawn-out and the characters are motionless. There are a few funny moments but mostly it looks like something of an endurance test. Certainly the slowest film you'll ever see.
