The Silence (1964)
Yeah, I sat on this one too long. I saw this about three weeks ago and have been struggling with what to say about it ever since. Short version: intriguing if obscure psychodrama with some striking symbolism (is the unnamed city Hell?) and a surprising dollop of eroticism; also, it makes for an interesting closer to Bergman's 'trilogy of faith' if you consider that this could be about the absence of faith. All this, plus it's an obvious precursor to Bergman's extraordinary Persona.
Grade: B
