Silent But Powerful




THE BRONTË SISTERS
André Téchiné, 1979

The film tells the story of the Brontë sisters and their brother Branwell (Pascal Greggory). Les sœurs Brontë may bore some audiences because it's mostly quiet, but the film's silence is its power. Although the characters rarely speak throughout the movie, when they speak, their words are heartfelt and poetic (just like the lines from the Brontë sisters' novels). The actors' facial expressions and the film's landscapes are impressive.

Fave Movie Quotes: My Favorite Season




"Where is the friend I seek? My longing rises with the sun.
Night fades, in vain I call his name.

I see his traces, I know he is there.

I feel him where the flowers sweeten the air.

Where saplings sprout, and wheat thrives.

He is the breeze that caresses me.

The scent for which I long.
I hear his voice blend into the summer's song."

- Emilie, quoting lines from a song
