Sunday Without Love
Sunday Without Love is inspired by a mid-twentieth century postcard that lives on Kjartansson’s fridge depicting a scene of people wearing matching folk costumes in a nameless location and, incongruously, one of them holding a jazz guitar. Kjartansson, along with nine other performers, donned outfits to mimic this postcard and performed a fragile chorus on repeat in a similar idyllic, pastoral setting. In a confluence of references from classical pastoral painting to traditional romantic ballads, the film evokes a portrait of unrequited love as well as a Buddhist sense of acceptance.
