Director Michal Hogenauer on A Certain Kind of Silence, a “cult”
film with a difference
Update: 2020-01-06
Description
One of the most compelling and stylish Czech films of 2019 was A Certain
Kind of Silence, the feature debut from Michal Hogenauer. The largely
English-language work depicts a Czech girl who becomes an au pair in an
unnamed Northern European state only to discover her host family are
members of a sinister sect. When we spoke, the conversation took in the
challenges of shooting abroad and the ways in which directors can pander to
festival programmers. But I first asked Hogenauer about the inspiration for
the story in A Certain Kind of Silence.
