His new film, Silence, has opened in Stockholm, and for the first time a sizable number of Swedish moviegoers are wondering if the dose has grown too powerful. Growling dark epithets, people are actually leaving the theater midway through the film. Others go away slowly at the end, stunned, like children retreating from a keyhole...

...Walser focuses on the foibles of the villagers, but in the second, communal viscissitudes serve only as a debilitating influence on two people struggling to stay afloat. A modern Germanic Everyman, Alois's desire for love and procreation has been perverted by a hyperdermic needle and a heavy dose of ideology.
