Le Silence de la mer is a 1947 film by Jean-Pierre Melville that takes place in 1941 and concerns an Frenchman and his niece's relationship with a German lieutenant who lives in their house during the German occupation of France. Melville based the film on the book of the same name by Vercors and actually filmed inside of Vercors' own home outside of Paris. The film has been described as an "anti-cinematographic" film due to the unique method of narration used to give voice to the (mostly) silent Frenchman and his niece.
