Visionary director Carlos Reygadas’ new film reveals a spiritual crisis unfolding in a strict Mennonite community near Chihuahua, Mexico. As in his earlier films, Battle of Heaven and Japón, Reygadas infuses Silent Light with neo-Biblical imagery to explore ways that passionate, error-prone people reconcile their physical desires with their deep religious convictions. Winner of the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. 2007, 35mm, in Plautdietsch with English subtitles, 144 minutes.
