Le Silence de la Mer (1949)
Directed by: Jean-Pierre Melville.
Written by: Jean-Pierre Melville based on the short story by Vercors.
Starring: Howard Vernon (Werner von Ebrennac), Nicole Stéphane (The Niece), Jean-Marie Robain (The Uncle).

The French Auteur Jean-Pierre Melville would make some visually brilliant films – films that often don’t rely on dialogue at all, but their visuals. He would also go onto to make one of the defining films of the French resistance during WWII in his 1969 masterpiece Army of Shadows. His first film as a director though was Le Silence de la Mar – which he shot in 1947 just after the war, and was released in 1949. It is a much quieter film about a much quieter form of resistance by the French in WWII – and also an angry film about what was done to his country. It is essentially a three-person drama, almost all set inside one house is rural, occupied France. There an Uncle (Jean-Marie Rabin) and his niece (Nicole Stephane) live out their lives under occupation, until there is a knock on their door – and soon they have been assigned a German officer to stay with them. This is Werner von Ebrennac (Howard Vernon) - a Francophile of a sort. Much of the film takes place around the fire, in the sitting room of this house. Werner talks and talks and talks about how this war will ultimately be a good thing – it will bring together the German and the French culture and people. The Uncle and Niece don’t say a word. We hear the Uncle – extensively – in voiceover describing the action. But if the Officer is around, they don’t speak.

It breaks the cardinal rule of show, don’t tell – and even does it one better (worse) in that the Uncle is often describing action that we are quite literally watching at the exact same moment – the definition of redundancy. And it, once you sink into its rhythms, it becomes very quietly involving. The voiceover works, if for no other reason than without it, the film would be so quiet if Werner isn’t talking, and also there would be no way for the Uncle’s point-of-view to come across (in part, this is because of the strange decision to cast a man in his 30s to play the Uncle, then place him in old age makeup – which isn’t so much distracting, as confusing, as it doesn’t allow much acting by Robain through his face – he doesn’t need it though, since the whole point is that the two of them are essentially emotionless whenever the officer is around.
The film, I think, shows the quiet resolve of the French people. This old man and this young woman have no other way in which to resist the occupation that has taken over their country. They cannot fight – it would mean their death – and they cannot do much else. What they can do is be quietly defiant in the face of this intrusion into their home. And they do that. It is also an interesting choice to have Werner be one of the “good ones” as it were. Werner really does see this war as a good thing. When he talks he is full of hope for the future – he is optimistic. He knows they are ignoring him, and yet he wants to reassure them anyway.
For the most part, the attempts to open up the narrative don’t work as well – the film is best, when it is this quiet war in the home. But it’s necessary for the final turns in the movie. As Werner talks to the other German officers, he realizes – apparently for the first time – just what his country is doing, and what it plans to do. He is horrified and sickened by what he hears – and he cannot live with himself anymore. This leads to the climactic scene – which, of course, is very quiet – where for the first time instead of just walking into the living room, he knocks at the door – and waits for a reply. He finally gets one – just three short words by the Uncle, and upon entering, and telling them what he’s going to do, he gets one word from the niece as well. It’s as shocking as four words could ever be in a movie.
This film isn’t that masterpiece that Army of Shadows is – or Le Samourai, or several other Melville films are. But it’s a very interesting starting point for Melville. It’s also not as bitter and angry as the opening title card – which says reconciliation between France and Germany is impossible – would lead you to believe. Yes, it’s hard to believe that there could be a German officer like Werner, shocked by the reality of what his people are doing. But it’s interesting to think of one of them having morals enough to be sickened by it, but not enough to actually do something useful. Melville would go onto make several masterworks. This isn’t one – but it’s still a damn good place to start.
