The Unspoken
Jean, a small-town child preacher grows up in an institution without speaking. When involuntarily released, he ends up in an abandoned motel where he meets Cory – a “hard knocks” woman. Together they embark on a strange journey of healing.
“Frederick Marx, best known for co-directing HOOP DREAMS, delivers a slam-dunk with this startlingly unsettling film. The film is a beautiful meditation on the concept of nature vs. nurture as it follows a whacked-out hero's journey of a man -- whose been tossed out of an insane asylum -- and his relations with an equally mad woman. The film deals with self-discovery by using archetypal themes, mythological overtones and Garden of Eden references. The best advice for this film is 'Don't ask questions just go with the flow.' It's a crowd pleaser on a cerebral level.” - Independent Film Magazine
“Rob Sweeney’s stunningly varied lensing and the scope of helmer’s ambition reward serious investment.” - Variety
