Det tysta ljuset

Silent Light

...begins with one of the most magisterial opening shots everfilmed.

...this is a deeply considered, formally accomplished, beautiful-looking and unexpectedly gripping film from a director making a giant leap into the first rank of world cinema.

Cornelio Wall as Johan, Miriam Toews as his wife and Maria Pankratz as Marianne are so focused, they gather interior power. They take a story of extreme emotions and make it believable.

...a moving meditation on love and betrayal.

...abounds in the beauty of the outdoors, continuing scenes in order tocatch the wind crossing a field or ripples in a stream even when the charactershave left.
