Silent Light has restored my love of neo-realism. A great film.

Silent Light offers a hypnotic and remarkably tender story of a man gripped by his love for two women. Set within a modern day Mennonite community in rural Chihuahua and cast almost entirely by non-actors speaking Plautdietsch, a German-derived dialect, Silent Light is both a poetic documentary of a community deeply rooted in tradition and a moving narrative of spiritual crisis and redemption. A work of unusual maturity and power that has been repeatedly compared to Dreyer, Silent Light is Mexico’s official entry for the 2007 foreign-language Academy Award.
