This modern take on the silent genre has none of the polish of, say, The Artist, but director Janez Burger's attempt has some powerful moments.

There is some beautiful imagery along the way but the conceit seems forced.

A Fellini-esque silent fable with tackles the horrors of war with a refreshing sense of the absurd.

By no means perfect, Burger's Silent Sonata is an oddly mesmerising piece of performance art.

Janez Burger has chosen to tell a dark and alienating story in a dark and alienating way. The combination of style and substance makes the viewer recoil.

Slovenian filmmaker Janez Burger's dialogue-free poetic fable doesn't dig deep (circus as metaphor for life, thanks Fellini) but there's a gentle surreal charm that's hard to resist.
