Silver Haze (spoiler free review): Reality vs Cinema
In this video, I give a spoiler free review of the upcoming British film "Silver Haze". I also discuss the ways in which filmmakers can blend reality and fiction in order to tell narrative stories with authenticity. This analysis makes reference to several other related films. These include: Crystal Moselle's film "Skate Kitchen", Dee Ree's film "Pariah", Sophie Littman's "Sudden Light", Chloe Zhao's "The Rider" and Charlotte Regan's "Scrapper".
"Silver Haze" will play BFI Flare Film Festival in 2024 and is due for release in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on the 29th March. "Silver Haze" stars Vicky Knight with Esme Creed-Miles and is directed by Sacha Polak (who previously directed "...

    I grew up in Germany in the 70’s . I know the subject matter well. If you dig deep enough you will find a Nazi past in literally every family, also in mine. Patriotism or showing pride in your country was discouraged. There will forever be shame. I watched this movie twice, once with reading the subtitles simultaneously and once without. The translation is not bad by any means but the German language is terribly efficient when talking about the final solution and it’s near impossible to do it justice. I can’t say I enjoyed this movie but I can closely relate to it.

    The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9) And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: (Acts 17:30) I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:5) Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 20:21)

    It feels like the film made by someone else, who didn’t plan to make his “epic” speech at the Oscar’s. He couldn’t plan this film after the massacre on Oct.7. He planned it earlier, and his perspective was clear. You can become a different person on stage (as of the director of this film), but how can you Not mention our hostages??!!!

    Great video. I've now seen the film twice. I can't stop thinking about it. Since I watched, I haven't been able to enjoy other films as much. They seem either trivial or predictable or boring in formal terms. I agree that it must be watched and listened to in the cinema. During the premier here in Łódź it was packed and the audience was remarkably quiet. People stayed for the final credits, which is uncommon these days. The film didn't depress or shock me, as most holocaust films do, but has got me thinking as films rarely do.

    It's not this great work of art at all. It deludes you into thinking the Höss's were deluded and in denial, but they were merely opportunists who didn't gave a damn about their victims. The whole point, which the film completely misses, is that mediocre narcissists easily do monstrous things for financial and social gain because they have have no conscience. They weren't passive bystanders to the evil, they were among the main instigators of it. The film is a disaster of misrepresentation. Normal people don't do things like this because they have a conscious. That said, any society has plenty of narcissists ready and eager to do evil, and normal people so often don't resist them because it's hard and dangerous.

    A couple of points. First l cannot recall a film where sound plays such an important part. The narrator here refers to that big glugging sound which you hear at certain points. Quite what it does l could not tell you. It’s very loud and it works. The second is the far off sounds from the camp so that you never forget what is happening behind the walls unlike the characters who do not hear it. It’s just like traffic noise to them. Second, a lot has been said about camera angles here. But the scenes all look as if they have been carefully arranged so that the effect is like looking at statues rather than people. The characters and settings appear real but not quite. It enables us to see them the way a scientist might look at a specimen.
