Currently reading Hiromi Kawakami's Strange Weather in Tokyo. It makes me think of the significance of silence in movies; those moments in which 'nothing' happens. It happens so loudly that it fills your stomach with love, fear, and anxiety at the same time. Do you remember the scene from Marriage Story in the beginning of the film when Charlie (Adam Driver) and Nicole (Scarlett Johansson) come back from the theater in the subway without saying a word? Or maybe the ants sequence from Eduardo 'Teddy' Williams’ masterpiece The Human Surge I? So simple, human, and profound.
