M No Notes
Metz, France. Cocooned in a life of privilege, 50-something Astrid Schaar is the wife of the suave François Schaar, a prominent and media-savvy lawyer approaching a crucial point in his years-long, high profile case in which he represents the parents of a number of abducted children. Day and night, reporters wait outside their gated home, hoping to snap a photo and secure François' latest remarks. But the uneasy equilibrium of the household erodes when a figure from the family's past returns, initiating their own search for justice…
Sharply scripted and observed, and dominated by performances of complexity from Emmanuelle Devos and Daniel Auteuil, A SILENCE, inspired by true events that shocked Belgium and France, is a disquieting exploration of family duty, complicity and coercive control; as the screws tighten and the characters steel themselves for the repercussions of their actions, it's impossible to look away.
M: Sexual abuse themes, violence & offensive language.
"...Daniel Auteuil and Emmanuelle Devos at the top of their game"

"Intelligent and precise. A hothouse actors' piece with superb performances from Emmanuelle Devos and Daniel Auteuil."
