Dummies repeatedly attempt self-destruction against a grim urban backdrop in this darkly comic series of vignettes that recall the fragility of human life. In a reversal of the usual practice in films where dummies are used instead of actors in dangerous set-ups, ‘Seven Days ’til Sunday’ calls to mind the possibility that these dummies are auditioning for the dangers of real life. It is the first of three films on which Jolley and Reynolds have collaborated, the others being ‘The Drowning Room’ and ‘Burn’.
