Silent Light

Exquisite cinematography and deliberate, controlled pacing dominate this critically acclaimed, award-winning, thought-provoking, 2007 Carlos Reygadas film, which packs a gut-wrenching, astounding, unexpected ending, about a guilt-ridden, tormented Mennonite dairy farmer (Carnelio Wall) living with his devoted wife (Miriam Toews) and seven children in northern Mexico who confides in his preacher father (Peter Wall) and his best friend (Jacobo Klassen) that he is seeing another woman (Maria Pankratz) as he tries to reconcile the affair with his strict religious beliefs.
