The Silent Cry
Year:
1977
Production Country:
France / Great Britain
An impressionistic 'diary' of a woman whose silent cry for help/understanding/love/identity is the underlying theme of the narrative. An experimental feature consisting of a fragmentary collage of monochrome and colour flashes, shots and sequences (some mute, some synched) hinting at (an) elusive narrative involving unnamed characters in unstated relation to each other, though revolving around the point of view of one girl, whose self-image is constructed from memory, fantasy and others' speech.
