The Silence of the Sky

The Silence of the Sky (O Silêncio do Céu, 2016) is a Brazilian psychological thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director Marco Dutra made this Brazil-Chile-Uruguay co-production about the particular pressure of unspoken trauma between two people who share a home.

Diana was attacked inside her own house. She did not call the police. She did not tell her husband Mario. She cleaned up and went on. Mario, it turns out, is carrying something he has not mentioned either. With Leonardo Sbaraglia and Carolina Dieckmann in the leads, the film watches two separate silences begin pressing on the space between them until the quiet itself becomes a peculiar violence.

Dutra works slowly and deliberately — this is atmosphere over plot mechanics, dread over incident. The house grows smaller with every scene. Stream The Silence of the Sky online on iFILM.
