Although the Merja people assimilated into Russians in the 17th century, their myths and traditions live on in their descendants' modern life. The two men set out on a road trip thousands of miles across the boundless land, with them, two small birds in a cage. Along the way, as is custom for the Merjans, Miron shares intimate memories of his conjugal life. But as they reach the banks of the sacred lake where they will forever part with the body, he realizes he wasn't the only one in love with Tanya... -- (C) Shadow Distribution

New Review For Movie Silent Souls
A meditation on death and sex, it's a melancholy and touchingly profound folk tale, though also deeply weird in places - pagan vajazzling, anyone?
Cath Clarke-Time Out It's lovely and slow and melancholic and short - 75 minutes, yet you feel you've been gone for an epoch or two.
Ty Burr-Boston Globe An astonishing, haunting, sensual, lyrical, bleak and ultimately beautiful road-trip movie.
David Lewis-San Francisco Chronicle Rife with earthy details and poetic associations, the movie often advances like a daydream.
Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader This profound and immensely touching film in only 75 perfect minutes achieves the profundity of an epic.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times The Russian drama unfolds as a series of perplexing, fascinating snapshots, yet the predominant story about saying goodbye - to people and customs - are universal.
Stephanie Merry-Washington Post ... slow and introspective, paced in long, still shots that seem to drift in time rather than march forward.
Sean Axmaker-Turner Classic Movies Online Overwhelms us with meaningful silence.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews Shot in a series of long single takes in the remote reaches of a chilly landscape the film evokes how the acceptance of loss can bring a sense of peace.
Jim Schembri-3AW Full of striking visual images and fragmentary half-truths - a dour meditation on love and death that arrests and alienates in equal measure.
Mark Kermode-Observer [UK] The performances are pitch perfect. The culture is fascinating. See it. See it. See it.
Tara Brady-Irish Times Aleksei Fedorchenko's crisp, beautiful film ponders the oddness and necessity of the folk rites in which we all seek solace.
Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph It is an odd, low-key film but the brief running time ensures that it never overstays its welcome.
Allan Hunter-Daily Express Fedorchenko may not exactly be on oath with all of these Meryan traditions of his, but they create an utterly distinctive world, and the close harmony provided by a choir in one scene really is arresting.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] A disarming tableau about life, love and death, Aleksei Fedorchenko's lyrical drama is soup for the soul.
Shaun Munro-What Culture The wheels within wheels of sly tale-spinning turn quietly, turn deep.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times An incredibly moving and masterfully controlled experience.
Laurence Boyce-Little White Lies A beautiful piece of work: heart-wrending, atmospheric and truly poignant. Recommended.
David Parkinson-Empire Magazine Beguiling, dreamy and mystifying. And quite unlike anything else. An unexpected cinematic treat.
Miles Fielder-The List There's nothing here Andrei Tarkovsky didn't achieve in his prime, but at a mere 78 minutes it maintains focus with admirable purity.
Simon Kinnear-Total Film The finale may leave some unfulfilled, but this is an intuitive visual essay that begs to be experienced.
Ed Gibbs-Empire Magazine Australasia If Silent Souls is slow and cryptic, with long takes and mysterious metaphors, it achieves a great sense of poetic realism
Paul Byrnes-Sydney Morning Herald Stunningly photographed for the wide screen SILENT SOULS is another indication that the Russian cinema, despite its problems, is still capable of producing major work.
David Stratton-At the Movies (Australia) A resonant, lyrical and beautifully realised cinematic experience.
Mark Demetrius-FILMINK (Australia) Simple but not simplistic, Silent Souls resonates like a beautiful bell
