Excerpts from the Press Reviews

“… can be loved for many reasons: as a partisan song or love story, a cinematic gesture or a blow against dictatorship, which it resists as strenuously as the rebels in the siege of Homs. A film literally worth a life, indeed a few lives. In Republic of Silence the regime has already lost, defeated by one eye that keeps rolling”. 

Emanuele Di Nicola for Cinecritica (in Italian): read here

“Republic of Silence is a song of political and poetic resistance with dissonant melodies. A song of hope through images that are disjointed and reunited in a fascinating cinematic gesture”.

                     Jean Perret for Filmexplorer (In French): read here

“The filmmaker’s great art is in the cinematic fusion of diverse elements together without taking away their stubbornness, leaving the result open in many directions. “Something seeps into me from every person I film,” reads one of the black text screens. Presumably, it is precisely this porousness of her filmmaking process that makes this personal-political film so special”.
