Silent Friend

Ildikó Enyedi (director of Oscar-nominated On Body and Soul) returns with a century-spanning triptych about lives that unfold around an ancient ginkgo tree. Featuring Tony Leung as a neuroscientist whose attempt to measure the tree’s signals tests the limits of perception, Venice Best Young Actress winner Luna Wedler, and Léa Seydoux.

“It’s a true original, one of those cinematic events that, once seen, will not be easily forgotten” – RogerEbert.com
