Starring Mennonite actors (from Mexico, Canada and Russia), Silent Light lets the audience peek into the domestic rituals of a couple and their children in a Mennonite community outside Chihuahua. Johan (Cornelio Wall Fehr) is in the midst of a marital crisis with his wife Esther (award-winning Manitoba novelist Miriam Toews), because he believes himself to be deeply in love with Marianne (María Pankratz), with whom he has been having an affair. There is no deception, however. Johan has been upfront with Esther from the start. Yet despite his belief that Marianne is his ideal mate and “natural woman,” his desire to preserve the family’s stability and, most profoundly, his great love for his wife and children, prevent him from starting a new life with his mistress.

As in Reygadas’s cinema in general, one of the most intriguing aspects of Silent Light is his use of non-professional actors. When an extra stares directly into the camera, we are reminded that we are watching a film. At the same time, we are beguiled. In this world, there is no need to explain how or why people die of broken hearts or how love and generosity can literally raise the dead.
