Silent Trilogy (Trilogia Muda) by Daniel Rodriguez-Risco
Peru, 2022, 40:00, Fiction

Silent films are back.
In the words of film critic Sebastián Pimentel, Silent Trilogy “conveys a simple but very powerful idea: the idea that from the love of silent cinema one can discover the secret quintessence of moving images.
A current of thought unites the three episodes in a coherent way, embodied with few elements which make space, time and movement purely cinematographic modes of expression. Voice is not needed. Yes, there are sounds, music, but not human voices, as in primitive cinema. There are faces, slow or fast movements, despair, fatality, a barely glimpsed horror, desire and fear of freedom. There is also love, perhaps as an illusion, rather than as a reality.
Silent Trilogy, like good contemporary movies, is also a puzzle. A puzzle with a missing piece. This is an image that shows its fractures, its voids that should not be filled – that the viewer must fill in his head – because, since Citizen Kane, that fragmented nature is what makes cinema a vertiginous search that does not end, a problem and an enigma that should not be appeased”.
El Colchón Films and Cepa Cine are pleased to present this unique cinematographic work whose production spanned more than two decades.
