Troll.
shareI agree! This one of the most boring and pretentious movies I've ever seen.
"Silent Souls" is 100% amateur stuff... it seems the director has seen too much Tarkovsky and some Nordic art movies, and is desperately trying to mimic their style with empty shots and non-existing symbolism.
Also, the nation of Mejans hasn't existed since the middle ages, so all the mythological stuff doesn't have any historical basis.
Tarkovsky wanted to be Bergman, this one wants to be Tarkovsky.
Technique overload, zero substance.
Take from these Russian "directors" of today not only the effects the modern technology may offer to every fool, but also the colour and sound, and let them learn how to tell the story, or express the idea or feeling. Back to the Silent Era. Good luck folks!
Listen to your enemy, for God is talking
1) Ending: is the full assimilation of a people living among majority of other people avoidable?
2) "da wife " cudn't "be hotter". People of that ethnic group are known to look non-flashy.
3) See #2
4) The book could be good, too. Ethnic documentary and legends.
5) not even 90 minz. stick 2 film festivalz. Could do more "festivalz", as long as they are not in Las Vegas.
6) so dis is a story bout ?
It is all about ethnic identity that is going to be forgotten and about readiness of its people to suffer in silence, as a part of that culture. The two narrator and the wife were attracted to each other, yet stood separate as those gray birds in a cage. The husband felt that he runs on her obedience, but did not stop it. Regrets came later.
