Movie Reviews of Silencio Roto (Broken Silence)Movie Review: beautiful Summary: 5 Stars
A very beautiful and well-acted movie about a rural town in Spain where the Civil War didn't end after Franco took Madrid. A young woman returns to her family town in the mountains to live with her aunt and finds herself in the middle of a bitter revenge-filled guerilla war between the "dead-ender" republicans in the mountains and the Franquist Civil Guard. All the people she loves seem trapped by destinies they can't or won't escape, ending either in front of a firing squad or living without hope. In a time when most american movies seem filled with violence and sadism and computer glitz, it's great to find a movie like this that tells a story well and deeply.
Summary of Silencio Roto (Broken Silence)Autumn 1944, 21-year-old Lucia returns to the small mountain village where her parents live. The town is split between Franco?s fascist supporters and the Republicans. Lucia falls in love with Manuel, a young blacksmith who supports the Maquis, guerrilla warriors hidden in the mountains, who do not accept Franco?s triumph. Manuel flees the village to join them, and Lucia discovers the harsh reality as silence, horror and fear populate the village?s empty streets. Invierno de 1944. Lucía, de apenas 21 años, llega a un pequeño pueblo de montaña. Allí se reencuentra con Manuel, un joven herrero que colabora con los del monte, los maquis: guerrilleros que, ocultos en la sierra, no se resignan al triunfo del franquismo. Cuando Manuel huye al monte, Lucia descubre la inhóspita realidad que oculta la montaña y, también, que por las vacías calles del pueblo sólo deambulan el silencio, el horror y el miedo. A pesar de ello, la pasión que siente por Manuel hace que Lucía mantenga viva la illusión y la esperanza de que llegarán días mejores.
