The Aerial (2007)

March 11, 2025 12:40 AM

The Aerial (”La Antena”) is an innovative Argentinian silent film from 2007, about a city that had lost its voice, and its only savior, a boy without eyes who ends up crucified on a 'Star of David'(?). It’s a surreal allegory in a German expressionism style, a weird black & white fantasy about mind control. A unique and inaccessible fairy tale.

7.3 on IMDb.

3.7 on Letterboxd.

Reviews: One - Two.

A short MUBI trailer.

(Somebody made a 7min. mashup video of the visuals with S&G music).

“Mommy, are you there?…”
