As a seasoned cinephile with a penchant for films that delve deep into the human condition, I find myself eagerly anticipating the release of “Most People Die on Sundays.” The film’s premise, revolving around existential anguish and the financial burdens associated with loss, resonates profoundly with my own experiences.
Big World Pictures has secured distribution rights for the U.S. and Canada for Iair Said’s “Most People Die on Sundays.” This role was obtained through sales agent Heretic. The film, which is an existential comedy, marks Said’s debut as a fiction feature director. It was featured in the ACID sidebar at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
The movie will be premiered in cinemas at the start of 2025, after it has been screened during autumn film festivals. Previously, this director had made the documentary “Flora’s Life Is Not a Walk in the Park.”
“David, a young Jewish man of average stature with a fear of flying and identities as both corpulent and homosexual, finds himself back in Buenos Aires from Europe following the funeral of his uncle. However, upon arrival, he learns that his mother has chosen to end his father’s life support. The narrative delves into David’s emotional turmoil as he grapples with the stark changes in his life.”
Speaking about the film’s origin, they said, “When my father passed away, we found ourselves needing $10,000 to give him a Jewish burial. It took us approximately two and a half years to save up for it. My father had prepared us emotionally for his departure, but neither he nor anyone else warned us about the high cost of his passing.”
The director commented, “The value of dying as a member of the middle class isn’t discussed. Instead, I want to explore the cost that the surviving family members endure when they lose a loved one. That’s the focus of my film: the consequences when ‘normal’ people… pass away.”
“The film titled ‘Most People Die on Sundays’ has been distributed in France by JHR Films, and in Latin America and Spain through Star+ (Disney+) and A Contracorriente Films.”
Based in 2013, a non-profit organization named Big World Pictures specializes in sharing international films with viewers in the United States and Canada. They have previously distributed movies from filmmakers like Ulrich Seidl, Radu Jude, Mohammad Rasoulof, Tsai Ming-liang, and Nuri Bilge Ceylan.
The Athens-based independent film company Heretic currently showcases productions such as “New Dawn Fades” from Locarno, Radu Jude’s “Eight Postcards From Utopia”, and “Kyuka Before Summer’s End”, which was chosen for the Cannes ACID selection.
