The Intimacy of Silence
To experience Silence is to experience intimacy—with the world, and with whatever or whomever we are seeing or meeting experientially. Such an intimate silence is very present to what is at hand. Perceiving, thinking, and feeling are available but we feel more alert, more intimate, more present than our ordinary mode of experiencing. This silence is not a spaced-out, trance-like, dimmed or static state of consciousness, but our natural state, totally open to and intimate with the moment as it is.
Silent films that explore intimacy :
Coeur Fidèle/The Faithful Heart (Jean Epstein, 1923)
The film tells a melodramatic story of thwarted romance, set against a background of the Marseille docks, and experiments with many techniques of camerawork and editing.
About Cœur fidèle, Epstein wrote that his way aim had been to create "a melodrama so stripped of all the conventions ordinarily attached to the genre, so sober, so simple, that it might approach the nobility and excellence of tragedy". The film contrasts impressionist and naturalist aesthetics to tell the story of Marie, a girl forced to renounce the man she loves, Jean, to marry Petit Paul, a man she doesn't love and who mishandles her. At the end, the two lovers are reunited but they are so broken by life that happiness seems to be no longer possible.
In this scene we see Jean and Marie finally free to love each other, though their faces suggest that experience has taken its toll on their lives. Although due to the time period and not intentional, I think the instruments in place of complete silence combined with the black and white emphasises the melodrama.
THE GOLDEN HORNS - Kay van der Aa Kühle (1914)
https://www.stumfilm.dk/en/stumfilm/streaming/film/guldhornene
Using motifs from the classic Adam Oehlenschläger poem, the legend of the Golden Horns is told across four different epochs. The discovery of the first golden horn in 1639, the discovery of the second golden horn in 1734, the theft of the golden horns in 1802, and the saga of the golden horns in contemporary times. Emilie Sannom and Emanuel Gregers star in all four episodes, playing a young couple fighting to be together.
This film is completely silent and features no intertitles so the focus is on all the action.
HOW TO CREATE INTIMACY VISUALLY (according to Kurosawa) :
- Dependence on closeups
- constant use of deep focus
- low-key photography
- realistic intricacy of detail which is so compelling, real and believable that the result is immediacy - it becomes actual
