Passé sous silence

About This Movie

Passé sous silence is a quietly intense drama that explores themes of memory and consequence. Cécile's unexpected role as a juror draws her into a disturbing past, and the film captures a haunting atmosphere with its slow pacing. The tension builds as Cécile grapples with her childhood connection to Sandra, who displays a chilling nonchalance about her guilt. The performances, especially from the lead, are raw and layered, lending an unsettling depth to the narrative. The film’s unorthodox approach to the courtroom drama genre, combined with its exploration of personal history, sets it apart. It’s not flashy or conventionally dramatic, but it leaves a lingering impact, making you ponder the weight of silence and complicity.
