Marleen Gorris / NL, 1982 / 109 min.

Oscar winner Marleen Gorris (Antonia, Mrs Dalloway) delivered a surprising directorial debut in 1982 with her feminist thriller A Question of Silence. Three women who are strangers to each other murder a male boutique owner. What brought them to this point?

Why did a shopkeeper have to die? What motivated the women to do so? It is up to psychiatrist (Cox Habbema) to discover the perpetrators’ motives. Feminist director Marleen Gorris’ debut De stilte rond Christine M. proved to be a controversial calling card, an enervating psychological thriller for which she won a Golden Calf at the Netherlands Film Festival and also reaped success abroad.
