The Silence of the Sea Ratings & Reviews
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Hardly a sympathetic portrait of German culpability, Le Silence de la Mer is a memorable echo of the evils made possible in the face of ignorance and blind allegiance.
Parallax View
Sean Axmaker
Melville called it an "anti-cinematic" film, and he creates the expressiveness in what remains unspoken, the glances and gestures that take on grand drama in the minimalist presentation.
Lawrence.com
Eric Melin
Although the movie's narrative and acting style are typical of older films, "Le Silence de la Mer" has a modern sensibility and feel, embracing subtlety and ambiguity in a way that was idiosyncratic at the time.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Jean-Pierre Melville's great, too little-remembered debut, and a classic example of circumstance leading to aesthetic advance.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Matt Bailey
Requisite viewing for any student of post-war French cinema.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Melville's film is stimulating and perplexing.
