Synopsis

Out of the poem “Primero sueño”, by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, this film is built quietly yet with an extreme aesthetic we could call “documentary expressionism”, where a deep darkness is barely interrupted by flashes of light, and words alternate between being whispers and shudders, and finally end up depicting an audiovisual universe of amalgamated oppositions. In the beginning, the poem names “the earth that was born as a shadow”, and that very same thing becomes visual flesh, turning Nicolas Pereda’s film into an aesthetically challenging territory. There’s another paradoxical crossroad between filmed fiction and the reality behind the camera, which seem as if they were blended together in that expanding blackness that turns everything it finds on its way into a ritual. Director and star Jesusa Rodriguez, the partner of argenmex Liliana Felipe, is the person in charge of placing her own body on the line for All Things Were Now Overtaken by Silence. Its sophisticated expressiveness delivers the final death stroke for the film to vibrate with unusual rhythm and passion.
