The setting of post-industrial Asturias is also an emotional desert in which a pre-retired miner with a gambling problem is constantly avoiding creditors. Chased by a ruthless police officer, he will be forced to run a sinister errand that will change his life.
On Silent Mode features a choral storyline based on its characters’ cellphone conversations, with ellipsis between every call that create a fragmented, mosaic-like narration where the lack of information reveals progressively clear sings that we’re watching a thriller. The director finds a new cinematographic form, a kind of contemporary reinterpretation of the epistolary novel, and then the second half of the film abandons that thorough initial device, and the plot starts again and fills out significant moments. Nightfall and a highly contrasting black and white cinematography seal the terrible fate the characters (and the viewer) didn’t foresee in the first part. DM
