Le silence de la mer

, Le silence de la mer" is a french romantic drama directed by Pierre Bourton.The film was realesed in 2004 and is based on the book with the same name by Jean Bruller(1942).The plot follows the unrecognized love story between a german captain,stunningly potryed by Thomas Jouannet and,as today's generation would call it, ,,the girl next door" played by Julie Delarme. The story takes place in 1942,during the Second World War, when the captain is moved in Jeanne's (Julie Delarme) and her grandfather's(Michel Galabru) house. Along the entire movie, the atmosphere is gripping and intriguing, and at some points, well, dramatic. As the plot unfolds, we are witnesses at a slow, though visible and undiniably special connection between the two protagonists. Julie Delarme has an absolutely astonishing debut,showing lack of interest in the man but at the same time quietly requesting his attention.Thomas Jouannet,on the other hand is a perfect fit for the role,thanks to his characteristic seriousness.He flawlessly succeeds in showing a careless attitude,whilst doing small,romantic gestures for his host. The setting, the filming skills that include long-lasting panoramas of a certain moment and the soundtrack contribute to the atmosphere that the movie wants to achieve. Although it might seem so at the beginning, ,,Le silance de la mer" is not your typical cliche ridden movie. So if you are looking for the unpredictable romantic drama movie,this certainly does the job.
