Tense drama about Polish vacationers who forgot to pack their consciences. Film review by Graham Fuller
How people dance always gives them away. Taking to the floor of a coastal Sardinia nitespot in Silent Land, the bourgeois Polish couple Adam (Dobromir Dymecki) and Anna (Agnieska Żuleweska) fling themselves around as dementedly as if red ants are swarming on their skin.Their manic grins are unnatural.
