Jean-Pierre Melville began his career with this powerful adaptation of an underground novel written during the Nazi occupation of France. An idealistic German officer is assigned to the home of a middle-aged man and his grown niece; their response to his presence is total silence. Minimally constructed and eloquently shot, Le silence de la mer is a fascinating tale of moral ambiguity in wartime.
