synopsis
Two shots fired in the middle of the night disrupt the life of Mary. The faceless killers shoot dead her husband and son. As a police officer in the district of Toronto, she chooses the path of revenge, hunting down the killers and masterminds. Like in a contemporary western, her journey takes us to the Argentinean/Bolivian border, to ‘another world’. “When Marie-Josée Croze agreed to do the film, I understood to what extent the project had been conceived for someone like her: a foreigner. The only way that I could go back to Argentina to shoot a film, the only honest account I could give of the country in which I was born, had to borrow the eyes of a foreigner. We shot part of the film in her country, Canada, and the rest in mine, Argentina. [...] This film about the Other, the hate and forgiveness that it provokes, was produced around these two returns.” (Santiago Amigorena)
An allegory of a revenge that becomes the beginning of a journey of self-discovery: try to see ANOTHER SILENCE not so much as a thriller but rather as a contemporary western with a woman instead of the traditional gun fighter. It is almost like a sad ballad in which the narrative clues slowly lose their importance as the journey draws to a close. The key to interpreting the film lies in the light which shines throughout it: cold and dark in the beginning, warm and ambiguous during Mary’s journey on Pablito’s trail, blinding and bright when the woman heads for the desert. Bit by bit also the contours, the spaces, distances take on a new form and start to widen. It is exactly what happens to the main character, who is alone in the face of a world in which she doesn’t know the codes, in which she searches paths which are all too easy to take and impossible to decipher. (Giorgio Gosetti)
