The aura of girls doesn't need the sun to glow. That is the essence of RP Kahl's documentary "Sunday Girls", which follows four young actresses - Laura Tonke, Nicolette Krebitz, Katharina Schuettler and Inga Birkenfeld - through different seasons and landscapes. Between naiveté and experience, wishes and wants the four women tell about their jobs with great honesty. They talk about theatre, about the myths of cinema and the magic of making the first film. They show how one needs to become stubborn and uncompromising to avoid getting lost in the demands of contemporary media. These four portraits never get too close and leave the women enough freedom to experiment in front of the camera. The struggle between acting and authenticity is always visible and makes this documentary so utterly fascinating to watch.
