Sinopsis
Taking from "Primero Sueño" by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, this movie is build stealthely but with an exremist aesthetic that one may call "documentary expressionism." Deep darkness is barely distubed by some specs of light; the word becomes whispers and trembling in order to outline a cinematic universe with amalgamated opositions. At the beginning of the poem, "la tierra nacida sombra" is named and so it becomes vsual flesh in order to make Pereda's film an aestheticaly defiying territory. Another parodoxical intercross happens when filmed action and the reality behind the camera, which, between the expanding blackness that ritualizes everything arround it, is mistaken. Jesusa Rodríguez, is the film editor of All Things Were Now Taken By Silence. Her sofisticated expresivenns gives the final touches so that the movie shines with unusual passion and rhytm.
