The article analyses various forms and meanings of the directors deliberate abandonment of sound and/or music both on screen and off screen. The absence of the soundtrack is defined in such terms as reverberant silence, generating silence, intimate silence, inex-pressible stillness, after-sound silence, silence as absence, which characterize the directors aesthetic attitude towards the image.
