The Silence
A
young girl is brutally raped and murdered in 1986. Twenty-three years later,
another girl is killed in the same exact location and all the evidence points
to the new crime having been committed by the same man. Although it is set up
as a police procedural, this new film from writer/director Baran bo Odar is far
more interested in exploring the psychology of the killer – and those
investigating the crime or related to the victim -- than simply explaining who
the murderer really is. We witness the
first crime in all its brutality and then we are transported to the world as it
exists more than two decades later, a world where not all of the people
involved in crime or the investigation have moved on. You may spend a lot of
time trying to guess who the murderer really is, and you may just get it right
in the end. When you find out why they did it, though, you will be blown away.
