The Rest is Silence Directed by Andrew Henderson London
The Rest is Silence follows the course of an anonymous, unclaimed body through its progress from discovery to burial.
It focuses not on the body, but on those who guide it through the processes and rituals preceding its interment. The silence of the body, the former person for whom all this work is done, is the core of the film. The characters of the people around it are explored, without unnecessary verbal commentary, in a silence mirroring that of the body.
