Making Noise Quietly, feature film for Open Palm Films, distributed in the UK by Verve. Now available to watch on Amazon Prime.
A triptych of stories, laced together by theme, Making Noise Quietly explores the impact of war on the lives of three groups of ordinary people across the 20th Century.
**** The Financial Times “…a powerful little fable about love, cruelty and emotional learning…a Hansel and Gretel tale with twists, textures and even some toxicity. Who will win the war of wills? The troubled, cruelty-prone father; the mutely mutinous son; or the woman played by Findlay like some strange, powerhouse combination of Frieda Lawrence, Grandma Moses and a kindly-mannered witch from the Brothers Grimm.”
Little White Lies “The final segment might be the most emotive…it toes a provocative line, discussing what makes and becomes of trauma, rage and cycles of violence, and whether it’s even possible to heal it. It’s tricky, murky storytelling, that refuses to paint a monstrous man as an outright monster, purporting him as a victim himself, in some ways….”
Directed by Dominic Dromgoole. Screenplay adaptation by Mark Rosenblatt (Making Noise Quietly) , Nick Drake (Being Friends) and Robert Holman (Lost).
