   I saw "The Round-Up" back in 2020 and it was my favorite film I saw all year. So I looked forward to "Silence & Cry," but it was grossly disappointing. If it weren't just 77 minutes, I doubt I could have even sat through it. As far as I can tell, this film was simply an exercise for the camera and sound men. Jancsó gave the cast just one direction: "Never stop walking." And the cinematographer was challenged to follow the actors as they grimly paced around and around. And around and around. All on the same dry, flat patch of farmland. Meanwhile, along with inserting as many squalling bird cries as possible, the sound man's assignment was to make every footstep three times louder than it naturally would be. He cheats by making every character wear heavy boots, but it may be that the dialogue and sound effects were entirely added in post-production. Hard to say. In any case, it's almost impossible to immerse oneself in the story, because all your energy is devoted to just keeping up with the actors in eternal motion.
