The syntax does the semantic of this film justice. With eroding attention spans, the ability to appreciate a movie like this must also be diminishing. As a long time seeker of silence in the outdoors, it is remarkable how accurately this piece of art tells the story.

Some people who've never considered the topic could be helped by watching this. Others will find familiar material, but it was well-done.
I'd have liked it to be more of an activist film, rather than a resigned documentation, but I guess that's the way it is.
I was surprised that they only showed a very brief clip of one of the biggest, growing threats to rural silence and visual aesthetics (hint: IWT). Was that political-correctness or an oversight?

Amazing artistic movie, perfect balance of beautiful visuals and even more beautiful and beatific theme: silence. Must watch. it has lot of zen moments which as a viewer i felt transcended to another plane. a rare experience.
This is so terrific. I have so much trauma trying to find a quiet place to live I have a beach camping setup to run to if it gets too much.
I spent Xmas Eve alone, had a quiet day with family Xmas Day, and spent Boxing Day at home alone. And I just found this to watch in the evening.
I play music and stuff to cover external sounds that echo all around me, bit I'd rather have everything off. I find people that have to shout when they tak and make noise, saying nothing, are weak, cowardly, disempowered human beings. Empty souls. I can't stand them.
I've spent 6 hours in an anechoic chamber. It was a fascinating experience. I'd do it again if I could get access. I've liked Vipassana, but it's not silent enough. And I'm just normal, not an exception, not trying to be a guru. I'm just being myself.
Why do people find this so difficult? It's not hard. Wake up.
