Of unspoken feelings....

Not your average Nazi bad guy here. The approach is totally different. Few films have moved me as much as this one. With a lump on my throat for the last 30 minutes. Despite the title, (classical) music plays a key role in this made for TV masterpiece. Emotional rollercoaster. A must see. (2 thumbs up).

Amazing

I came across this film on youtube; it's one of the most powerful WW2/romance movie I've ever seen. Very sensational. I couldn't help watching it over and over again. The performance for the actors were great; I never knew how movies can deliver message and stories like this.

WW2 romance movie

This is one of most touching romance movie I've ever seen. Without a single line, the hidden love between the German Commander and the French girl was told through their eyes.

A great and touching film

"Le silence de la mer" is based on the book de Vercors , a French writer and member of the French Résistance that tells an impossible love story between a young French piano teacher and an German officer of the Wehrmacht. It's really a great and touching story: she plays German classic music . He is fully francofile and tries to have a conversation, but the only answer is always silence !! The performance of Thomas Jouannet, Julie Delarme and Michel Galabru are extraordinary.

Very Impressed!!

This is coming from a lover of horror movies. Don't like sappy romances but I happened across this movie last night and while it was in French (no parle vous) I totally got the gist of the movie. I watched the entire film, beginning to end and LOVED it!!! If you can get past the subtitles or lack there of you'll feel the same. Great but sad ending as usual.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
