No sex scenes, no nudity, no profanity, and it still achieves such high dramatic and emotional tension between the characters. This movie is so pure/innocent and beautiful!
Did you know that this film is actually a blend of two short stories by French author Vercors (whose real name was Jean Bruller, a member of the French Resistance): Le Silence de la mer, published clandestinely in 1942, and Ce jour-là (1943).
@@oliveerg9405i read this book as a teen long ago. My 4 gd-parents fleed from nazie germany in france. Maternal gd parents (switz and tirolian living in germany) fleed in 35... they were progressist and radical minded and... opponants to Adolf H since his aborted coup in München in 24...paternal side they were irish-US living in germany too since 1918 and fleed in north east france in 1939. My gran ma had to accept at her "littl' castle" the chief of german police and his wife. True ignorant and vulgar people ex butcher from Stuttgart. My gr'an ma used to play piano... Mendelsohn and other jewish composers (!) those dumbies applauded at ! And used to read german poetry... But jewish one (!). Until the chief of gestapo (In Metz) invited during an evening party.. Recognised the composers and poets. My gran ma escaped from being sent in eastern camp by a hugh graduate officer of Luftwaffe and aristocrat she knew before the war. Then they all moved to french speaking part of east france in Nancy and shut their mouth until 44. Lucky for my pa' who was born in Köln in 27 and spoke fluently german : his friends at gymnasium in Metz were recruted as "malgré-nous" (= against our will) and sent on russian front. Just a few came back in 45. Life is swinging on a rope... Trying to keep balance in war times. Every minute...
Oh my ..... it's brilliant. I cried too much at the end. What a love that is in silence yet the eyes reveal it all. One of the best movies I watched.❤❤❤
Odd, Kelly, as it was clear to me that the tears were flowing from a joy that her own survival was possible with the exit of the NAZI howsoever humane he appeared outwardly.
Judith Moore What a beautiful and powerful film. The human intricacies, we cannot control, even amidst such volatile and fractious times. The French are truly gifted in their film industry. Highly recommended.
I'm still crying. Such emotional impact. One could really relate to each character. Superb acting all around. Better than any of the current Hollywood offerings. I actually remained awake for thus one. A hidden gem. Bravissimi.
Anyways At the end of the story they let the audience make their own ending to t. For me, they definitely give themselves a chance to let their feelings show and tell themselves. The flowers in the pot she had put outside the window . There's love that blooms.❤ Nice love story and a good film to watch.
Does anyone else notice the way he fiddles with his cap? Like he's nervous? This movie is full of small, beautiful details and I love every minute of it.
This guy is the pride of his parents..well.brought up. There is not much like this kind of a guy, especially at this time. He has a very nice, fine skin, even finer the woman. He's very, very neat. This guy can't just have any.woman.The woman should be impeccable like him.
Makes you wonder if all the wars were really worth it? Who wanted the wars? Why do splended beings like Werner and Jeanne willingly march to face peril? This movie also raise very profound questions, are we human first? Or we are our nation first? Are we fighting for our nations? Or we are fighting for the entities who create war? How sad that Jeanne and Werner have to forsake their love and die for the war. Jeanne and her grandfather's home give Werner a place to be true to his humanity, as such, he touched Jeanne and her grandfather in the most profound way. This amazing film and its actors, the music manage to lift me up and for a short time i am immersed in the vibration of love. Thank you Thomas Jouannet, Julie Delarme for a transcendent performance. Thank you Bach!
@@leiyang477With such a profound and smart understanding of "Le silence de la mer", you are in the best position to understand that Vercors also wrote a book, "Les Animaux dénaturés", in which he questions what humanity really is, where animality begins, and which, of the so-called human beings and of those designated as "animals", are more worthy of being as examples to follow for who wants to be a decent being.
@@charlottevairet3453 Thanks for the compliment, surely from today's vantage point, that would be a logical question, what sane politician, elected by the people would want to go on a war path that would incinerate a good portion of civilization? Sadly, we have been indoctrinated with Materialism for too long, many have forgotten that there is a spiritual dimension to our human experience, that we are much more than our forms, we are consciousness, spirits, eternal. We are only here inside a body for a blip of time to experience this dimension. What set us apart is this divine spark inside us, and we have free will. But this 3D world we live in is heavily manipulated, it is like a black box theatre, the unseen crew (stage designers, lighting designers, script writers, the director, the customer designer) control the stage on which we play out our stories. The ultimate goal is for us to awaken to the true nature of who we are, that truth is we are divine beings having a human experience. So, this question Jean Bruller explored, have been answered on a different level by many spiritual masters from the past and the present time. We are poised to have a great awakening at the present time. Look up the Dimensional Shift, or Planetary Ascension if you wish to explore this topic. And I do think the 2004 reinterpretation of Le Silence de la Mer has amazing spiritual power, it breaches the veil for some of us and let us merge in the ocean of the LOVE consciousness----the cosmic consciousness.
At 1:04:50, what did he 'want to tell her?' 😢❤ he was such a good man. Seemed he loved her very much, and no touching needed!! Just pure love on his face and words...where are men like this?! ❤❤
Perhaps you will find it irrelevant, but it will show how much our morality etc.has changed. I was on the metro the other day, and two girls were sitting next to me, talking , a heated conversation. The one, was very stressed, asking her friend."It didn't go well last night, there was some blood, and I swore to him that I am not a virgin! It just happened to be the last day of my period ! I told him I am experienced !" O tempora, O mores!"
@@user-ji9jd1gq9z we have descended into darkness...This is why collectively, we suffer from depression, anxiety, unhappiness, because we have lost the senses for love, we don't know what love is anymore. Yet it is everywhere, right here waiting to be tapped in.
@@patquint3291 In the book, he mentions that there was a girl from a neighboring house whom his family deem a good match, they took walks in the forest, and she caught an insect while they lie on the ground resting, she said she would punish the insect for stinging her while pulling its legs out one by one. That cooled his interest in her, he found her cruelty disagreeable. So he is likely not engaged.
I dnt know how many times I have watched this movie… it accompanied my many sleepless nights when the pandemic started … and now I m watching it again and am still deeply moved by it… the acting is superb…every one of them .. and what a story
Make me think about ukrain today... Occupied territories are in same situation again. On both sides... I mean that Civilians are paying high prices becose of silly questions of nationalism. We ll forget when war gonna be over... For a while. It took 3 serious wars in less than a century... before france and germany stopped their fuckin' "hasse" / haine.
No unfortunately, being sent to the Russian front was a death sentence for so many on both sides. While your version would have pleased many it was not meant to be. Two madmen, Hitler and Stalin. Hitler with six million Jews, gypsies and Poles and others he deemed as enemies were slaughtered. But the most evil Stalin, killed Twenty million of those he hated either outright or sending them to Siberia. He particularly targeted the Polish because he wanted their land, but anyone who he hated. Then the evil “Uncle Joe” was appeased by the USA and Great Britain and they betrayed the Polish. War is Hell. But sadder still is all the young men on all sides of the conflict who lost their lives. And the old men lived and started more wars. Amen
Déchirant, profond, poignant. Les yeux qui débordent d’amour nous encensent, nous serrent le cœur. Un film très émouvant. Bravo aux acteurs. Merci de nous partager ce film 🙏🏻
In Denmark during the War, a relative of mine and her father were forced to take in a German officer. They were extremely fortunate. He was a kindly Lutheran minister conscripted to fight who upon entering their home asked that his side arm be placed in a drawer and that they read the bible together each evening.
Yes it would be a great movie but the arrogance and sometimes Cruelty specially from the girl made the moviegoers from the German parts specially the German he was the best, the girl her arrogance sold the whole movie
@@leiyang477Да, вибрации любви очень сильные! Ощущаешь эти вибрации ещё очень долго после просмотра фильма! Поэтому люди и смотрят этот фильм много раз и не могут насмотреться! Браво режиссёру, актёрам и всем создателям фильма!
He is drop dead handsome! Heart throb good looking!😍 most important, he’s a decent man! I believe he loves her very much. They love each other! War torn them apart🥲
@@leiyang477True...dark forces that hate humanity cause conflict for destruction. Political pawns instigate war for ego maniacal power-lusters...leagues of intrigue deeply hidden in concealment move the levers towards imminent battle(s). The folly of mankind has always been pride & manifest those who strive for perpetual aggression of which the reality is large scale death. The song Brothers in Arms by Dire Straights sums up war from the perspective of soldiers. The movie Spy Game shows some the upper echelon involved behind the scenes mechanisms of instigated wars. I thought perhaps with your deep perception you may enjoy them both. 👍
@@kingdomfreedom8323 Thank you for the suggestion, will watch both. The disclosure of the true reality has been trickling into the common collective consciousness...The flooding of it may be around the corner. A good metaphor of our current situation maybe that Humanity is living in a larger "Vichy" state, for thousands of years. Our ruling Elite are the Vichy regime, that rule on behalf of their masters (higher beings who are largely hidden from us, either dimensionally or in consealment), they puppet the Davos crowd to implement their angenda. War is just a periodic "cleansing/thinning" or human population, syphoning of the energy of misery which sustain their life force...very ugly truth indeed.
@@kingdomfreedom8323 Agree, the true reality maybe a lot worse than we can imagine...off plant influence in human affairs are likely the real reason humanity are trapped in perpetual warfare...they depend on harvesting our misery for their survival.
Their love for each other was so beautiful. Made me cry that the war tore people apart😢😢. They could not even express the love towards the other side. His eyes had so much love for her.
aucune correspondance sauf le piano! le livre a été écrit en 1941 c'est une histoire d'amour sans paroles à l'honneur de l'officier allemand et de la jeune fille française.
So much love, desires, intense emotions but all in such a silence! So meaningful just as the title indicates: “Le silence de la mer” The Frenches know how to make cinema with deep contents ❤
@@antoinemozart243: Oh, sorry to the Belgians - Je suis désolée. But in the film, Werner admired and praised French literature / authors in such an honourfull sound! Therefore, I just believed the plot takes place in France during II. Ww
@@paulad.5875 Thomas Jouannet is Swiss French (born in Geneva in 1970). He has starred in a diverse number of TV movies and series. He is listed as #5 on the list of 40 French actors both alive and deceased. He is still gorgeous at age 53. Married 14 years to a French actress and writer. Father of three children. I absolutely adore him!
@@patquint3291 Me too. He was trained as a comedian funny enough. Comedy is huge in France, 30% of movies are comedy. But Thomas Jouannet's Werner von Ebrennac is INCOMPARABLE. He has created an ideal----can I say an angel in disguise. This Werner is a role model of respect, kindness, chivalry, creativity, openhearted, loving person. All boys and young men should watch this movie and see what a real man is.
I have watched this movie more than 5 times.because this is the best romantic movie i have ever seen. in the beginning she hated him so much.but in the end her heart was won by him. love can feel any unexpected time for any person even an enemy. There wasn' t any sexual relataionship even a little touch.but both of them has fell in love unconditionally. specially Vaner is a very decent and he knows well how to respect them although he is a Nazi officer . That is the reason she fell in love with him. what a beautiful love it is .. She changed her hairstyle to get the attention of him. she kissed his shawl possionately. she hugged his pillow. bez there wasn't any way to cuddle him.after hearing his foot-step suddenly she ran into her room and but she was near the door. at that moment if Verner talked to her he could have captured her.but he could control his feeling, love and lust for her. bez if he did it, her life could be miserable because of him.that is the real love. if we love some one truly we always try to keep them happily. what a pure love it is ..! she didn't talk any word with him till he left . but their eyes and gestures talked thousands and thousand words silently. some time that silent can make more deep and powerful feeling than words. after watching this movie , i thought i could be Jenny at least just one minitue.bez i never had such a beautiful love story in my life.
1:29:09 its that "i am thrilled to know you felt the same. im glad you do but its too late now" kinda look that kills me 😭 the mutual understanding they have of each others' feelings conveyed by that single look in their eyes. He's ecstatic but they both know its going nowhere. But he's glad he could atleast know and she wanted to reciprocate for the first & the last time 🥹 Its nothing but its everything at the same time. The best and worst feeling. A masterpiece truly !
After this movie, everything pales. One realize that that talking really get in the way. I just watched "Arletty: A guilty passion" about the French actress Arletty's love affair with a German officer. Going back to the notion of "Talking really get in the way" not for the characters but for us. Talking dilutes the intensity of the feelings. Without talking, the characters invite us into their hearts, and let us feel what they were experiencing. This movie has this spiritual power or energetic signature that no other film has ever gave me. It bolts you into the stratosphere of Love, I mean the vibration of Love---an energetic state, like having a peak experience.
@@user-dp8kk8ip3v Glad we resonate, you understand what I am saying! Love is universal. We all receive and broadcast it, this film amplifies what is in our hearts. Werner's love for Jeanne is like a beacon.
Я сошла с ума . Уже который день смотрю этот шедевр по 3-4 раза в день . А сегодня вот решила посмотреть на языке оригинала . Хотелось бы продолжения этой истории любви . Всем привет из Якутии .
''Le silence de la mer' was my favorite book when I was in high school. We were so lucky these books were part of our curriculum. It was in France, a long time ago.
Я вас так понимаю! Пересматриваю фильм уже который раз за 3 года... Сейчас около 2 ночи. Так хочется верить, что они встретятся вновь после войны и будут вместе! Алматы, Казахстан. Пусть все будут счастливы во всех мирах!
Darcybeth. Thank you for making available this beautiful story. I have watched four times and am completely enthralled by this story and will watch many times more. Who could think a 90 year old woman would be so touched by a love story. Even in times of war there are moments of beauty and possibilities. I never watch romances but this was unlike those syrupy smaltzy ones that women seem to like. It was pure love, respect and admiration for the other that was stifled by being foes through no fault of their own. . I am sure Werner was killed at the Russian Front. Since Jeanne took the place of her friends in the resistance it is probable that she may have faced the firing squad. The acting, directing, script writing and all it took to make this film was first class. I know I am rambling on but there is so much to be said for this magnificent piece of work.
Спасибо , за то, что фильм на французском языке с английскими субтитрвми! ❤ Впечатление от фильма на французском языке еще большее, звучат голоса актеров! 🙏💕
"Silence" only concerning spoken words, but a resounding symphony of deep, heartfelt emotions. You see and feel, how hard it became for her, to maintain thus self- imposed silence. Ironically, it was better for her to restrain her emotions, regarding what expected women, who had intimate relationships with german soldiers, after the war.Many thanks for uploading this wonderful movie.
Have a look to 2 other master pieces of italian cinema : " malena" with monica belucci... Taviani bros if my memory is fair... "une journée particuliere" / "a day so particular" something like this from Ettore Scola with 2 italiians actors : sophia Loren and Marcelo Mastroïanni. The first is a "must" on same theme about various colors of grey during war times. The 2d is a wonderful confrontation under italian fascism between 2 visions.. 2 "realities" of a typical italian mother and married simple woman... And a gay progressist journalist. (sent to livari islands a concentration camp). Another show on multiple colors of grey during war times.
@@wujibifan5938 those 2 are for sure. A last one... Which is one of my best on pre-nazi period.. If yu want to understand how Adolf 's supporters won... Got the power by terrorisying german people early 30ties, is "the egg of snake" by ingmar bergman the swedish movie maker. As my grand parents (on both sides) lived in germany and fleed in france in 35 (my mom' s side) and 39 (dad's one)... Once (i was 27 yo my Oma around 70) ... I proposed my Oma / gran ma to vision this movie. She stood quiet during the movie. Then at the end asked me "who made this movie?"... I told her. Then slowly she said " the best movie I ever saw... on" how they did to get the power"... This guy lived it... Am sure. He was in germany during this period". I said "yes! Ingmar bergman was in berlin learning at the" Uffa mega cinema city" how to make movies... He was a student there. . Then he fleed back in sweden. And spent the war in his motherland where Willy Brandt - the leader of young Spd party yu belonged to yurself and future "prime minister" / kanzler , continued the resistance against Adolf. Yur right he lived this period in germany ! "
As I have watched this movie several times, I sent the link to my sister to watch. I said I wish there was a sequel to this movie. Her first time watching it, as she is very observant, she said he DID come back. She explained after their farewells, time had passed, and it was spring. Jeanne took off on her bike, looked around cautiously, rang the doorbell and someone let her in and as she did, she looked around as not to be seen by anyone. Someone in different clothing barely opened the window and put a fully bloomed pot of geraniums on the windowsill. I had to rewatch it and paused it as the person putting the pot out was a man's arm and hand with a burgundy sleeve. Then, I started piecing together things that little Albert had told Jeanne. He said when his mom puts a geranium out on the windowsill that means she has company, and no children are allowed in. I noticed Jeanne stopped and listened intently as if she wanted to remember that. Even after the war it would have been looked down upon that they got together with him being German, so she had to sneak away and hide it even from her grandfather. She told him that she would be back after her lessons. After watching the ending carefully several times to see what my sister saw right away, I believe it was him. Like a lot of movies, the endings can be suspenseful to make you think.🤔🤫
I would love to agree with you ... but there is an important point to consider ... Werner would not come back and live right in the centre of the town , where he could be seen and recognized by the locals and by the Germans ... besides I think the geranium was eventually a kind of code among the fellows in the French Resistance ... and that is why her friend and husband were arrested ... 😥
@@suzanailhabarretoviana1863 You could be right. However, I saw the look of caution in Jeane's actions and as the potted geranium was put on the windowsill, I put it on pause several times and it was definitely a man's arm. Though I had watched this movie many times, I lost interest after they said farewell, so when my sister saw it then I became focused on the ending. I guess only the writers would know for sure.
I think Jeanne was joining the French resistance. Werner would never have returned to the center of a French town to live and clearly very little time had passed since his departure for the Russian front.
in the end there are no more German soldiers in the streets and there is enough food the final scene shows it, the flower in the window is not about resistance because the war has already ended
What a magnificent film, just couldn't get enough of it. I wish the movie was a little bit longer to have more scenes or some detail about the letter he received and what he wanted to say to her before her grandfather interrupted. I know their love doesn't need more words but that would be nice to know what he wanted to say. I don't think he just wanted to say he loves her. His actions already showed everything. He must have something else he wanted to explain or something he couldn't use his eyes or actions to express. Just a wish...So, I ordered the book and am waiting to read it to understand more.
If this gentleman and lady met in peacetime, they would undoubtedly become lifelong partners. However, due to that abominable war, the perfect pair could not be together in the end.❤
An extraordinary movie. I love it! Without saying a word, the man express through his beautiful eyes how much love he feels for her. Something that called my attention was the young girl Solange playing the piano. My name is also Solange and I have a knowledge of my French name but never knew the pronunciation in French. Thank you, CZcams, for bringing to us such a GREAT movie.
Such a good development of the characters! This is pure romanticism,artful scenery, camera focus on eyes that speak without words. Beautiful faces, beautiful souls yearning for love in a cruel social situation. Shed a lot of tears, you romantic people ! Cry about the circumstance of this man and woman . I watched this film 6 times already and decided to buy the DVD. Precious item on the same shelf with Eugene Onegin, a film that also moved me so much.
There is so much that is said without words in this movie; so much is conveyed just with a look. It’s a beautiful movie and cinematically very beautifully made.
A brief period in the lives of descent people dragged into a war they never asked for, thrown together and ripped apart by forces beyond themselves. Two world wars, and Europe's leaders learned nothing. They're ready to hurl the beautiful continent into the next one. What a tragedy.
Who wouldn't fall in.love with that guy with impeccable manners. Too smooth and we'll.spoken. I'm sorry for myself that I stumbled into.this film. Now, I'm Heartbroken. Just thinkin' of Werner von Ebrenac.
@@mariaalano3077 I checked about the outcome of Capt. Werner who decided to go to the Russian Front which is suicidal since he realized his fate wasn't going to end well. Yes, it is sad, and she knew he was going to go to the Russian Front to end his life.
Vercors wrote the original Book in 1942 AS PART OF THE RESISTANCE! This movie swings in a different direction from the Novel. Vercors wanted to emphasize the Glories of Humanity as well as the good things in the German and especially the French Culture. THESE were things worth FIGHTING for!!
Cette histoire d'amour sous l'occupation allemande est très touchante, un amour où rien est dit , un amour impossible ! Les acteurs sont remarquables ! Un très beau film !
I looked up the original 1949 film which is *not* a love story but about what happens when "a good German" is put into the home of those his army is occupying. The Frenchman and his granddaughter's refusal to engage with him is a metaphor for the Resistance and, for the occupants of the house, a means of resistance. When Werner leaves for the Eastern Front, he tells them he has asked to be sent to "hell". Based on a novel published clandestinely in 1942. Vive la France!
That film had all the emotions of what it must have been like. Beautifully made, no nudity,foul language or gratuitous sex. Made such a change to watch a well made film. Thank you for the subtitles too.
This movie was made in 2004, the 60th anniversary of D Day. In June we will have 80th anniversary of D Day. I wonder if any new films are coming out for WW II commemoration. It would be so great if Director Boutron, Script writer Anne Giaferri team up with Thoams Jouannet and Julie Delarme again for a sequel, maybe not immediately after the war since both actors have gained 20 years in age, but maybe a reunion in say 1960-1965 (the age would match). Maybe BBC will pick up their "Island at War" tv series too this year. It was very good.
❤Очень хочу продолжения! В фильме очень большой потенциал для продолжения! Фильм понравился, его любят и обсуждают миллионы зрителей по всему миру! Всем людям счастья, любви и быть всегда любимыми.
There could never be a sequel. They have both committed suicide, he by chosing to be transferred to the Russian Front, and she by joining the Resistance. They are Romeo and Juliet, their love doomed from the start by the war between their families.
@@user-dp8kk8ip3v This movie was meant to have a sequel, but the French public opinion was not supportive of it back in 2004, enough Partisans were still alive or profound misgivings towards the Germans prevented the making of a sequel.

@@leiyang477With such a profound and smart understanding of "Le silence de la mer", you are in the best position to understand that Vercors also wrote a book, "Les Animaux dénaturés", in which he questions what humanity really is, where animality begins, and which, of the so-called human beings and of those designated as "animals", are more worthy of being as examples to follow for who wants to be a decent being.
@@charlottevairet3453 Thanks for the compliment, surely from today's vantage point, that would be a logical question, what sane politician, elected by the people would want to go on a war path that would incinerate a good portion of civilization? Sadly, we have been indoctrinated with Materialism for too long, many have forgotten that there is a spiritual dimension to our human experience, that we are much more than our forms, we are consciousness, spirits, eternal. We are only here inside a body for a blip of time to experience this dimension. What set us apart is this divine spark inside us, and we have free will. But this 3D world we live in is heavily manipulated, it is like a black box theatre, the unseen crew (stage designers, lighting designers, script writers, the director, the customer designer) control the stage on which we play out our stories. The ultimate goal is for us to awaken to the true nature of who we are, that truth is we are divine beings having a human experience. So, this question Jean Bruller explored, have been answered on a different level by many spiritual masters from the past and the present time. We are poised to have a great awakening at the present time. Look up the Dimensional Shift, or Planetary Ascension if you wish to explore this topic. And I do think the 2004 reinterpretation of Le Silence de la Mer has amazing spiritual power, it breaches the veil for some of us and let us merge in the ocean of the LOVE consciousness----the cosmic consciousness.

At 1:04:50, what did he 'want to tell her?' 😢❤ he was such a good man. Seemed he loved her very much, and no touching needed!! Just pure love on his face and words...where are men like this?! ❤❤
❤
in the movies......
Perhaps you will find it irrelevant, but it will show how much our morality etc.has changed. I was on the metro the other day, and two girls were sitting next to me, talking , a heated conversation. The one, was very stressed, asking her friend."It didn't go well last night, there was some blood, and I swore to him that I am not a virgin! It just happened to be the last day of my period ! I told him I am experienced !" O tempora, O mores!"
@@user-ji9jd1gq9z we have descended into darkness...This is why collectively, we suffer from depression, anxiety, unhappiness, because we have lost the senses for love, we don't know what love is anymore. Yet it is everywhere, right here waiting to be tapped in.
@@patquint3291 In the book, he mentions that there was a girl from a neighboring house whom his family deem a good match, they took walks in the forest, and she caught an insect while they lie on the ground resting, she said she would punish the insect for stinging her while pulling its legs out one by one. That cooled his interest in her, he found her cruelty disagreeable. So he is likely not engaged.
I dnt know how many times I have watched this movie… it accompanied my many sleepless nights when the pandemic started … and now I m watching it again and am still deeply moved by it… the acting is superb…every one of them .. and what a story
Same here with me. At least 25 times. Forgot about it, now I’m back to watching it.

Make me think about ukrain today... Occupied territories are in same situation again. On both sides... I mean that Civilians are paying high prices becose of silly questions of nationalism. We ll forget when war gonna be over... For a while. It took 3 serious wars in less than a century... before france and germany stopped their fuckin' "hasse" / haine.
Me too
Me too.
My conclusion is the guy is alive and come back and they lived together.....the end
Beautiful movie.
No unfortunately, being sent to the Russian front was a death sentence for so many on both sides. While your version would have pleased many it was not meant to be. Two madmen, Hitler and Stalin. Hitler with six million Jews, gypsies and Poles and others he deemed as enemies were slaughtered. But the most evil Stalin, killed Twenty million of those he hated either outright or sending them to Siberia. He particularly targeted the Polish because he wanted their land, but anyone who he hated. Then the evil “Uncle Joe” was appeased by the USA and Great Britain and they betrayed the Polish. War is Hell. But sadder still is all the young men on all sides of the conflict who lost their lives. And the old men lived and started more wars. Amen
Non ,il ne revient pas! Il meurt sur le front où il a demandé à être transféré!
Lisez "Le silence de la amer" de Vercors, qui a inpiré ce film !
Déchirant, profond, poignant. Les yeux qui débordent d’amour nous encensent, nous serrent le cœur. Un film très émouvant. Bravo aux acteurs. Merci de nous partager ce film 🙏🏻
In Denmark during the War, a relative of mine and her father were forced to take in a German officer. They were extremely fortunate. He was a kindly Lutheran minister conscripted to fight who upon entering their home asked that his side arm be placed in a drawer and that they read the bible together each evening.
I like to share the overlooked fourth commandment KJV reminds us of Genesis 2:2&3. Jesus is our example.
One of the best movie I had seen. The art of cinema at its peak.
Yes it would be a great movie but the arrogance and sometimes Cruelty specially from the girl made the moviegoers from the German parts specially the German he was the best, the girl her arrogance sold the whole movie
The eyes told the entire story. It was love at first sight for them both.
this kind of love is deep....only in books its writed about........this kind of love is good to feel it
Remember the feeling when you are not watching it. How the love vibration feels like, so you can stay there for as long as you like.
@@leiyang477Да, вибрации любви очень сильные! Ощущаешь эти вибрации ещё очень долго после просмотра фильма!
Поэтому люди и смотрят этот фильм много раз и не могут насмотреться!
Браво режиссёру, актёрам и всем создателям фильма!
What a WONDERFUL FILM! War destroys EVERYTHING in its path. Love and humanity are just two of the victims of its’ evils.
Ce 🎥🎞️est vraiment un chef d’œuvre …magnifique !!!…❤
He is drop dead handsome! Heart throb good looking!😍 most important, he’s a decent man! I believe he loves her very much. They love each other! War torn them apart🥲
Soul mates here to experience 'forbidden' love----I hope humanity would stop fighting wars for dark entities.
46:30 yes ,she checked herself in the mirror ( for him !)😊
@@leiyang477True...dark forces that hate humanity cause conflict for destruction. Political pawns instigate war for ego maniacal power-lusters...leagues of intrigue deeply hidden in concealment move the levers towards imminent battle(s).
The folly of mankind has always been pride & manifest those who strive for perpetual aggression of which the reality is large scale death.
The song Brothers in Arms by Dire Straights sums up war from the perspective of soldiers. The movie Spy Game shows some the upper echelon involved behind the scenes mechanisms of instigated wars. I thought perhaps with your deep perception you may enjoy them both. 👍
@@kingdomfreedom8323 Thank you for the suggestion, will watch both. The disclosure of the true reality has been trickling into the common collective consciousness...The flooding of it may be around the corner. A good metaphor of our current situation maybe that Humanity is living in a larger "Vichy" state, for thousands of years. Our ruling Elite are the Vichy regime, that rule on behalf of their masters (higher beings who are largely hidden from us, either dimensionally or in consealment), they puppet the Davos crowd to implement their angenda. War is just a periodic "cleansing/thinning" or human population, syphoning of the energy of misery which sustain their life force...very ugly truth indeed.
@@kingdomfreedom8323 Agree, the true reality maybe a lot worse than we can imagine...off plant influence in human affairs are likely the real reason humanity are trapped in perpetual warfare...they depend on harvesting our misery for their survival.
Their love for each other was so beautiful. Made me cry that the war tore people apart😢😢. They could not even express the love towards the other side. His eyes had so much love for her.
Perfect gentleman, with beautiful,elegant manners.
Also, easy on the eyes, what an interesting story and so exciting to see how their looks achieve more than words.
Les Allemands étaient en général bien élevés et comme nous ils devaient se battre ou être fusillés, la guerre est triste pour tout le monde
@@moniquesilverans3842vous avez raison, le monde n’est pas manichéen mais fait d’un camaïeu de gris qui va du blanc au noir…
What a movie! What a wonderful movie. So much understending without words, so much love! C'est beau, c'est tellement beau. Merci beaucoup.
Das zweite Meisterwerk über Menschlichkeit im Kriege, nach "Der Pianist". Einfühlsam und authentisch .
Genau !
aucune correspondance sauf le piano! le livre a été écrit en 1941 c'est une histoire d'amour sans paroles à l'honneur de l'officier allemand et de la jeune fille française.
Both good films, so glad there was subtitles, though I think if it was silent, you would still capture the story, it was beautiful, forbidden love 🌹
Thank Darcybeth for making this available to us. Beautiful love story.
So much love, desires, intense emotions but all in such a silence! So meaningful just as the title indicates: “Le silence de la mer”
The Frenches know how to make cinema with deep contents ❤
It's a Belgian movie.
@@antoinemozart243: Oh, sorry to the Belgians - Je suis désolée.
But in the film, Werner admired and praised French literature / authors in such an honourfull sound! Therefore, I just believed the plot takes place in France during II. Ww

This movie is criminally underrated. Anyways crying and sobbing the whole night 🥲
It is making its way into many hearts...heavenly and enchanting.
Makes one connects with the LOVE frequency!
This movie is ruining my life. 😭

A beautiful, and sad story. So well done. Thank you for sharing this with us .
This film was the best l have seen in years it was beautiful they should have been together.❤
My God !!! What a movie !!! One of the best I have ever seen truly !!!
A diamond of a movie, so glad to watch it....
1:17:00 Damn! The man who plays Werner acted so intensely that his eyes say it all in this sequence.
His name is Thomas Journnet and isn't so intense in his other movies. He's lovely! ❤ 😳
@@paulad.5875 I think it's called acting. 😊
@@paulad.5875 Thomas Jouannet is Swiss French (born in Geneva in 1970). He has starred in a diverse number of TV movies and series. He is listed as #5 on the list of 40 French actors both alive and deceased. He is still gorgeous at age 53. Married 14 years to a French actress and writer. Father of three children. I absolutely adore him!
@@patquint3291 Me too. He was trained as a comedian funny enough. Comedy is huge in France, 30% of movies are comedy. But Thomas Jouannet's Werner von Ebrennac is INCOMPARABLE. He has created an ideal----can I say an angel in disguise. This Werner is a role model of respect, kindness, chivalry, creativity, openhearted, loving person. All boys and young men should watch this movie and see what a real man is.
I have watched this movie more than 5 times.because this is the best romantic movie i have ever seen. in the beginning she hated him so much.but in the end her heart was won by him. love can feel any unexpected time for any person even an enemy. There wasn' t any sexual relataionship even a little touch.but both of them has fell in love unconditionally. specially Vaner is a very decent and he knows well how to respect them although he is a Nazi officer . That is the reason she fell in love with him. what a beautiful love it is .. She changed her hairstyle to get the attention of him. she kissed his shawl possionately. she hugged his pillow. bez there wasn't any way to cuddle him.after hearing his foot-step suddenly she ran into her room and but she was near the door. at that moment if Verner talked to her he could have captured her.but he could control his feeling, love and lust for her. bez if he did it, her life could be miserable because of him.that is the real love. if we love some one truly we always try to keep them happily. what a pure love it is ..! she didn't talk any word with him till he left . but their eyes and gestures talked thousands and thousand words silently. some time that silent can make more deep and powerful feeling than words. after watching this movie , i thought i could be Jenny at least just one minitue.bez i never had such a beautiful love story in my life.
Pure love conquers lust
1:29:09 its that "i am thrilled to know you felt the same. im glad you do but its too late now" kinda look that kills me 😭 the mutual understanding they have of each others' feelings conveyed by that single look in their eyes. He's ecstatic but they both know its going nowhere. But he's glad he could atleast know and she wanted to reciprocate for the first & the last time 🥹
Its nothing but its everything at the same time. The best and worst feeling.
A masterpiece truly !
After this movie, everything pales. One realize that that talking really get in the way. I just watched "Arletty: A guilty passion" about the French actress Arletty's love affair with a German officer. Going back to the notion of "Talking really get in the way" not for the characters but for us. Talking dilutes the intensity of the feelings. Without talking, the characters invite us into their hearts, and let us feel what they were experiencing. This movie has this spiritual power or energetic signature that no other film has ever gave me. It bolts you into the stratosphere of Love, I mean the vibration of Love---an energetic state, like having a peak experience.
@@leiyang477❤Спасибо вам, такие красивые слова о любви и фильме.
@@user-dp8kk8ip3v Glad we resonate, you understand what I am saying! Love is universal. We all receive and broadcast it, this film amplifies what is in our hearts. Werner's love for Jeanne is like a beacon.
@@leiyang477 ❤❤❤
Я сошла с ума . Уже который день смотрю этот шедевр по 3-4 раза в день . А сегодня вот решила посмотреть на языке оригинала . Хотелось бы продолжения этой истории любви . Всем привет из Якутии .
''Le silence de la mer' was my favorite book when I was in high school. We were so lucky these books were part of our curriculum. It was in France, a long time ago.
Restraint, divinity, a love that is not consumed, stays forever.
Я вас так понимаю! Пересматриваю фильм уже который раз за 3 года... Сейчас около 2 ночи. Так хочется верить, что они встретятся вновь после войны и будут вместе! Алматы, Казахстан. Пусть все будут счастливы во всех мирах!
For those who enjoyed this, try and find "Another mother's son" I am sure that you will enjoy that too❤️
Thank you. I will try it too...
Thank you I saw it .Heartbreaking .
Thank you for uploading the whole movie. My favourite movie of all times
Un code de moralité et bonne éducation en ce temps là. Triste réalité d'une période noir dans l'histoire de la France.....

1:03:20 shows he really cared. He rescued her from rape and in the end, she saved him from the bomb.
Mon Dieu, quel film extraordinaire - les yeux disent tout! 👍🇺🇸❤
Beautiful film. Am so happy that I discovered it and saw it.
Champion, ...Bien que ca rapelle des temps durs. en maintenant, nous avons tellement en commun.
Darcybeth. Thank you for making available this beautiful story. I have watched four times and am completely enthralled by this story and will watch many times more. Who could think a 90 year old woman would be so touched by a love story. Even in times of war there are moments of beauty and possibilities. I never watch romances but this was unlike those syrupy smaltzy ones that women seem to like. It was pure love, respect and admiration for the other that was stifled by being foes through no fault of their own. . I am sure Werner was killed at the Russian Front. Since Jeanne took the place of her friends in the resistance it is probable that she may have faced the firing squad. The acting, directing, script writing and all it took to make this film was first class. I know I am rambling on but there is so much to be said for this magnificent piece of work.
Спасибо , за то, что фильм на французском языке с английскими субтитрвми! ❤
Впечатление от фильма на французском языке еще большее, звучат голоса актеров! 🙏💕
Mind ,soul ,heart , and spirit all encompassing. Thank you Thank you
Thank you downloading this film, which I loved dearly. Love all the actors that made this film stand out for their performances and storyline.
"Silence" only concerning spoken words, but a resounding symphony of deep, heartfelt emotions. You see and feel, how hard it became for her, to maintain thus self- imposed silence. Ironically, it was better for her to restrain her emotions, regarding what expected women, who had intimate relationships with german soldiers, after the war.Many thanks for uploading this wonderful movie.
Have a look to 2 other master pieces of italian cinema :
" malena" with monica belucci... Taviani bros if my memory is fair...
"une journée particuliere" / "a day so particular" something like this from Ettore Scola with 2 italiians actors : sophia Loren and Marcelo Mastroïanni.
The first is a "must" on same theme about various colors of grey during war times. The 2d is a wonderful confrontation under italian fascism between 2 visions.. 2 "realities" of a typical italian mother and married simple woman... And a gay progressist journalist. (sent to livari islands a concentration camp). Another show on multiple colors of grey during war times.
@@j-ch8787 Many thanks for your friendly recommendations. I'm always glad discovering new excellent movies.
@@wujibifan5938 those 2 are for sure.
A last one... Which is one of my best on pre-nazi period.. If yu want to understand how Adolf 's supporters won... Got the power by terrorisying german people early 30ties, is "the egg of snake" by ingmar bergman the swedish movie maker.
As my grand parents (on both sides) lived in germany and fleed in france in 35 (my mom' s side) and 39 (dad's one)... Once (i was 27 yo my Oma around 70) ... I proposed my Oma / gran ma to vision this movie. She stood quiet during the movie. Then at the end asked me "who made this movie?"... I told her. Then slowly she said " the best movie I ever saw... on" how they did to get the power"... This guy lived it... Am sure. He was in germany during this period". I said "yes! Ingmar bergman was in berlin learning at the" Uffa mega cinema city" how to make movies... He was a student there. . Then he fleed back in sweden. And spent the war in his motherland where Willy Brandt - the leader of young Spd party yu belonged to yurself and future "prime minister" / kanzler , continued the resistance against Adolf. Yur right he lived this period in germany ! "
As I have watched this movie several times, I sent the link to my sister to watch. I said I wish there was a sequel to this movie. Her first time watching it, as she is very observant, she said he DID come back. She explained after their farewells, time had passed, and it was spring. Jeanne took off on her bike, looked around cautiously, rang the doorbell and someone let her in and as she did, she looked around as not to be seen by anyone. Someone in different clothing barely opened the window and put a fully bloomed pot of geraniums on the windowsill. I had to rewatch it and paused it as the person putting the pot out was a man's arm and hand with a burgundy sleeve. Then, I started piecing together things that little Albert had told Jeanne. He said when his mom puts a geranium out on the windowsill that means she has company, and no children are allowed in. I noticed Jeanne stopped and listened intently as if she wanted to remember that. Even after the war it would have been looked down upon that they got together with him being German, so she had to sneak away and hide it even from her grandfather. She told him that she would be back after her lessons.
After watching the ending carefully several times to see what my sister saw right away, I believe it was him. Like a lot of movies, the endings can be suspenseful to make you think.🤔🤫
I would love to agree with you ... but there is an important point to consider ... Werner would not come back and live right in the centre of the town , where he could be seen and recognized by the locals and by the Germans ... besides I think the geranium was eventually a kind of code among the fellows in the French Resistance ... and that is why her friend and husband were arrested ... 😥
@@suzanailhabarretoviana1863 You could be right. However, I saw the look of caution in Jeane's actions and as the potted geranium was put on the windowsill, I put it on pause several times and it was definitely a man's arm. Though I had watched this movie many times, I lost interest after they said farewell, so when my sister saw it then I became focused on the ending. I guess only the writers would know for sure.
I think he parished in Russia.
And yes, the flower pot was a sign of the resistance.
I think Jeanne was joining the French resistance. Werner would never have returned to the center of a French town to live and clearly very little time had passed since his departure for the Russian front.
in the end there are no more German soldiers in the streets and
there is enough food the final scene shows it, the flower in the window is not about resistance because the war has already ended
A definitely awesome film ! In many ways a true gem ! 💯
Wow !!! Bloody brilliant.
This movie is great, the grandfather seems so real, and granddaughter plays the part so wonderful!,
Un très très beau film... avec le grand Michel Galabru comme bonus.
One of the most brilliant films ever. No sex scene, not a whiff of indecency. None of the nihilist cynicism. Every scene so powerful and well done.
Oh… yes, She was happy to go and she wouldn’t go to just any body. What a beautiful man.
What a magnificent film, just couldn't get enough of it. I wish the movie was a little bit longer to have more scenes or some detail about the letter he received and what he wanted to say to her before her grandfather interrupted. I know their love doesn't need more words but that would be nice to know what he wanted to say. I don't think he just wanted to say he loves her. His actions already showed everything. He must have something else he wanted to explain or something he couldn't use his eyes or actions to express. Just a wish...So, I ordered the book and am waiting to read it to understand more.
If this gentleman and lady met in peacetime, they would undoubtedly become lifelong partners. However, due to that abominable war, the perfect pair could not be together in the end.❤
Too many like them, all the time.😢
Funny how war is , they never would have met in peace time or felt so loved , true about the title. ...this is deep
beautiful film. very moving
An extraordinary movie. I love it! Without saying a word, the man express through his beautiful eyes how much love he feels for her. Something that called my attention was the young girl Solange playing the piano. My name is also Solange and I have a knowledge of my French name but never knew the pronunciation in French. Thank you, CZcams, for bringing to us such a GREAT movie.
Such a beautiful, beautiful.man with impeccable manners.
I really like this kind of movies, restrained emotions touching your soul, similar to traditional Asian lovers...
It makes you go much deeper to the place where the high vibe resides.
Fantastic acting from the two main leads, and such a good looking couple.
Such a good development of the characters! This is pure romanticism,artful scenery, camera focus on eyes that speak without words. Beautiful faces, beautiful souls yearning for love in a cruel social situation. Shed a lot of tears, you romantic people ! Cry about the circumstance of this man and woman .
I watched this film 6 times already and decided to buy the DVD. Precious item on the same shelf with Eugene Onegin, a film that also moved me so much.
Absolutely beautiful
What a beautiful film!They are hard to find these days so it was a joyful surprise.Thankyou.
I loved this movie❤❤❤ it was SO GOOD. Im going to watch it again ... and probably again and again😊
There is so much that is said without words in this movie; so much is conveyed just with a look. It’s a beautiful movie and cinematically very beautifully made.
A brief period in the lives of descent people dragged into a war they never asked for, thrown together and ripped apart by forces beyond themselves. Two world wars, and Europe's leaders learned nothing. They're ready to hurl the beautiful continent into the next one. What a tragedy.

A powerful love story . Superb. I had tears at the end .
Enjoyable movie with great performance by lead actors. Silence makes it unique & memorable. Really loved it.
It breaks my heart to see two people in love, both love music so much, but cannot express it but only with their eyes because of war.

Ce film est magnifique, les acteurs sont incroyables, j’ai adoré. Merci
Przepięknie opowiedziana historia miłości
Just add subtitles in English before watching, that's what I do... I remember some French... Turn on subtitles! 😊
Vercors wrote the original Book in 1942 AS PART OF THE RESISTANCE! This movie swings in a different direction from the Novel.
Vercors wanted to emphasize the Glories of Humanity as well as the good things in the German and especially the French Culture. THESE were things worth FIGHTING for!!
Cette histoire d'amour sous l'occupation allemande est très touchante, un amour où rien est dit , un amour impossible ! Les acteurs sont remarquables ! Un très beau film !
crying all night
such a beautiful film soundtrack really beautiful
The soundtrack is the third character, it speaks for Jeanne when she refuses to speak.
The Elegance of this movie pinpoints how derelict our contemporary time is . One again and forever : « Past has a great Future »
Beautiful film in every way 💕
I looked up the original 1949 film which is *not* a love story but about what happens when "a good German" is put into the home of those his army is occupying. The Frenchman and his granddaughter's refusal to engage with him is a metaphor for the Resistance and, for the occupants of the house, a means of resistance. When Werner leaves for the Eastern Front, he tells them he has asked to be sent to "hell". Based on a novel published clandestinely in 1942. Vive la France!
Wow beautiful, the only word she could say was farewell 😢
Beautiful on so many levels. Cinematography predictive and superb.
That film had all the emotions of what it must have been like. Beautifully made, no nudity,foul language or gratuitous sex. Made such a change to watch a well made film. Thank you for the subtitles too.
I enjoyed this film, excellent.
This movie was made in 2004, the 60th anniversary of D Day. In June we will have 80th anniversary of D Day. I wonder if any new films are coming out for WW II commemoration. It would be so great if Director Boutron, Script writer Anne Giaferri team up with Thoams Jouannet and Julie Delarme again for a sequel, maybe not immediately after the war since both actors have gained 20 years in age, but maybe a reunion in say 1960-1965 (the age would match). Maybe BBC will pick up their "Island at War" tv series too this year. It was very good.
I would love to see these two actors in a sequel since the chemistry was so wonderful between them.
❤Очень хочу продолжения! В фильме очень большой потенциал для продолжения! Фильм понравился, его любят и обсуждают миллионы зрителей по всему миру!
Всем людям счастья, любви и быть всегда любимыми.
There could never be a sequel. They have both committed suicide, he by chosing to be transferred to the Russian Front, and she by joining the Resistance. They are Romeo and Juliet, their love doomed from the start by the war between their families.
@@user-dp8kk8ip3v This movie was meant to have a sequel, but the French public opinion was not supportive of it back in 2004, enough Partisans were still alive or profound misgivings towards the Germans prevented the making of a sequel.
Here again, I am back. Ce film est si émouvant 🥹
Awestruck,what a masterpiece❤
Tres joli film avec beaucoup de sensibiltes et émotions ,à regarder très sincèrement Merci pour ce partage ,c est la 1 fois que je le vois ,acteurs formidables ainsi que la musique
Lisez la nouvelle de Vercors ! C'est une riche expérience de croiser cette lecture et la présente adaptation, à la fois fidèle et infidèle au récit et ce d'une façon des plus intelligentes.
What a masterpiece! So sad that war reigns over love in so many ways. Thanks for having this available here 🙏🏼
it is such a beautiful movie! I always love French films....thanks for the movie !
Unspoken words.. to love in silence this would definitely would have happened during war time …
