Silent Youth (2012)
10/10
We spoke less on the first dates
2 July 2019
This movie reminded me of the time when I started dating guys 200 years ago. How to put it: While fighting the internalized homophobia, it's not easy to have a relaxed conversation with someone who also hasn't come out to anyone. Did we have a personality? Probably, but it was hidden. What is unusual in this movie's story is that despite the blocked interpersonal communication and the obvious mental health issues of Kirill, they still stick together. It doesn't end in a one-night stand as it often does in reality at this level of self-acceptance.

Still the first reason why I liked this movie is not the realistic display of silence in our daily lives, but the beautiful visuals. Dawn and sunrise.
