520    This light-hearted tale of five young Berliners - a taxi driver, a traveling wine dealer, a record shop sales girl, a film extra and a model - spending a typical summer Sunday, is considered to be one of the most important works of the German film Avant-Garde of the 1920s. A trip to the countryside reveals the flirtations, rivalries, jealousies, and petty irritations common to any group outing, but all too soon it's the end of the day, and the prospect of Monday and the return to the weekday routine looms.    A blend of feature and documentary, the five principals are all amateurs who actually worked at the jobs described in the film so their performances are strikingly natural and unselfconscious. The film was shot over a number of Sundays and the sense of unforced credibility derives from the fact that these were exactly what the title suggests - ordinary Berliners on their day off, doing pretty much what they would have been doing in any case. This honesty and quietly ironic observation lends the film a timeless, universal appeal.
