Amazing, but not entertaining
I am neither an expert on Bergman, nor on film, so I refer you to the many thoughtful reviews others have written; but reconsider the comments that “nothing happens in this film.” Yes, it does seem much longer than 95 minutes, but only because it is so dense, because so much happens. Each look, each word carries emotions and meanings that require interpretation and re-interpretation. This is not a fun movie. We watch a woman die–slowly–and her relationship with her sister fester. Whatever the women try to say, they seem not to be able to say what they mean, or not to be able to mean anything. The son/nephew meanwhile wanders the halls of their hotel alone, somehow beyond or below any communication. There is indeed little action, aside from the sexual forays that serve to exacerbate rather than relieve the tension.This is a desolate film, and no redemption from the loneliness of death and individuality may be possible other than the consciousness of the beauty of that desolation. But it is beautiful.
Silence reveals
Ester, Anna and her little son, Johan. They arrive in a strange city in a strange country. The two sisters have a long-standing love-hate relationship covered by the veneer of a fragile truce. Johan (Jörgen Lindstrom) tries to hold on to his mother Anna (Gunnel Lindblom) but she’s too busy with her own desires and resentments to pay him much attention. Ester (Ingrid Thulin), Anna’s older sister, is very sick – she represents for Anna an authority figure (once feared and respected).Ester, Anna and Johan are in a city whose language they don’t understand and no one understands their language. Isolation, silence.
There’s something surreal, almost buñuelesque, in “The Silence”. Johan sees and feels many things, but he can’t really understand them. The train is arriving in the city and Johan stares out of the train window – he sees many war tanks heading somewhere. He doesn’t know what to do with himself… he wanders through the corridors of the hotel in which they are staying and he meets midgets from a wandering troupe. The relationship between the two sisters, Anna (his mother) and Ester (once so strong and now so very sick) is growing tenser. Johan tries to understand, walks along the hotel corridors, plays… he tries to lean on someone.
We see through the eyes of Johan (chaos and the search for love) and Anna (rebellion, desire, the search for something/someone) and Ester (fear and hope succeeding each other).
Ester, Anna and Johan – they are together but so very far apart. Johan, Anna’s little son, is the only one that wants to establish a real connection, but when the film ends, he has already begun to suspect what life’s about – the first steps to a rude awakening.
There are not many films like “The Silence”. This film is really what could be called a masterpiece. It is very difficult for me to describe “The Silence” and the feelings/emotions it provoked in me. All I can say that it is a very rich film and each viewing will reveal new things and different angles to the viewer. “The Silence” is cinematic art in its purest form.
