RESTLESS SUNDAY

GB
1967
11mins
Dir: Bill Davison
Starring: G Wain

A young man wanders aimlessly around the desolate streets of Leeds reflecting on the boredom of Sundays

This little drama shows one man’s reflection, through an inner monologue, on the boredom of Sundays before it became a day of shopping, and his sense of the hollowness of the way Christianity presents itself. It opens and closes with a view from inside a moving train, exact location unknown but presumably Leeds, and shots of coaching stock (and possibly DMU’s) passing over a road bridge in the city, but no locomotives are seen.

This is the first train seen in the film, and it maybe a DMU (possibly a Class 101 or similar)
This is the second train seen crossing the bridge, formed of non-corridor suburban stock
The final shot shows the rear of what appears to be another DMU
