Website: "winterstilte at SNG Film"Winner Golden Calf for best sound design!
from the jury report:
When many things say little, few things say much more. The illusion of silence can be given shape in many ways and sound is therein an essential part. In Winter Silence it is this combination of silence and form, which makes the film an almost poetic experience. Stunning.
Variety - "Striking images of a hard-edged brilliance are reason to see
"Winter Silence",
video artist Sonja Wyss' feature debut, composed of often-dazzling tableux in an isolated Swiss village suspended in time."
Cineuropa - “Top-notch cinematography and sound", "a full-blooded cinematic experience"
In a snowed-in log cabin, a widow lives with her four grown-up daughters, all with their own desires for love and intimacy. The strong Catholic faith and their mourning that has tormented them for years has condemned them to a life of chastity. Mysterious deer-men change their existence.
