Carlos Reygadas | Mexico | France | Netherlands | Germany | 2006 | 136’

A beautiful cinematic love poem, Silent Light is set on the outskirts of Chihuahua, Mexico in a Menonite community where a medieval German dialect is spoken and traditional values observed. The film centres on the plight of Johan, a husband and father who breaks the community rules by having an affair with another woman. Johans’ inner turmoil is played out against everyday habits and rituals - mealtimes, prayers, and tender moments which punctuate the day.

Cerdd serch sinematig prydferth yw Silent Light, wedi ei gosod ar gyrion Chihuahua, Mecsio mewn cymuned Menonite, lle siaredir tafodiaith Almaeneg canol oesol a lle glynir wrth y gwerthoedd traddodiadol. Mae’r ffilm yn troi o gwmpas bywyd Johan, gwr a thad sy’n torri rheolau’r gymuned trwy gael perthynas gyda gwraig arall. Caiff terfysg mewnol Johan ei bortreadu ochr yn ochr ag arferion beunyddiol – prydau bwyd, gweddïo, ac eiliadau tyner sy’n codi ar hyd yn ystod y dydd.
