 Central Europe Review - Kinoeye: Mute Witness
Mute Witness premiered in Russia in October 1994 and one year later in the United States, where it garnered praise from reviewers for its technical accomplishment and suspenseful narrative, but was criticized for having a convoluted and largely implausible plot.
The pair of killers discover that someone has witnessed their death shoot, and from this point on the picture basically traces Billy's efforts at (i) staying alive with the baddies on her trail, and (ii) convincing others (including her sister's boyfriend and the Russian police) that what she witnessed was not just a fictional murder.
The true horror of Mute Witness, which is conveyed with an intensity that belies its lukewarm reception and humble box-office takings, lies in its exploitation of the universal fear of being completely unable to understand others and, at the same time, of being totally incapable of making oneself understood.
