Silent Souls

Streaming video - 2011

One of the most acclaimed films of 2011, SILENT SOULS is a breathtakingly beautiful road-movie masterpiece. After the sudden death of his wife, tough guy Miron asks taciturn writer Aist to accompany him on a long journey to dispose of her remains according to the rituals of the Merya people—an ancient tribe from picturesque West-Central Russia. As the two friends traverse the evocatively bleak landscape with her body and a pair of caged birds, Miron fills the hours relating the most intimate details of his marriage—with unintended consequences. Winner of five awards, including the FIPRESCI Prize and the Golden Osella Award for Outstanding Technical Contribution at the **Venice International Film Festival.** *"An astonishing, haunti...ng, sensual, lyrical, bleak and ultimately beautiful road-trip movie." - David Lewis, **San Francisco Chronicle***
