Silentium (2004)
10/10
A great Austrian movie with black humor at it's best
7 August 2006
Warning: Spoilers
I really liked Josef Hader (Brenner) before, but after seen that movie, I must say I love him! In Austria, he's also known a a great comedian and he now shows surprisingly outstanding acting skills in this movie.

All the other actors make an excellent job as well, in particularly Simon Schwarz as Brenner's friend Berti.

The movie deals with a very explosive topic - the catholic church and sexual abuse/prostitution. I really think that they somehow managed to handle it with the due respect to this crime, but never forgetting to outpoint its existence, even in a beautiful city like Salzburg (where we might think, it only exists in other places).

If you're digging black humor, you have to see Silentium!
