    The translation of the film is called "Silence", but it expresses our repressed, manic, and empty mental state in our moral life, interpersonal relationships, and social rules. Two women, two opposing personalities, face each other in silence or hurt in the name of love. The language barrier is another kind of "silence", but the "silence" caused by the estrangement between sisters is obviously much more terrifying. In addition, Bergman's capture and design of light and shadow is brilliant!

    When God was silent, the lost went to the Avenue of Peace.

The Silence quotes

  • Ester: Erectile tissue... it's all a matter of swollen tissue and secretion; a confession before extreme unction. Semen smells nasty to me. I've a very keen sense of smell and I stank like rotten fish when I was fertilized.

  • Ester: I didn't want to accept my wretched role. But now it's too damn lonely. We try out attitudes and find them all worthless. The forces are all too strong. I mean the forces... the horrible forces. You need to watch your step among all the ghosts and memories.

    Ester: All this talk... There's no need to discuss loneliness. It's a waste of time.
