Silent Night’s Joel Kinnaman Details the Challenges of Shooting a Film With No Dialogue
There are no Christmas carolers or jolly Santas in John Woo’s heart-pounding Silent Night. The holiday action has zero dialogue to break up the narrative and fight sequences, and the movie’s lead, For All Mankind’s Joel Kinnaman, tells Collider’s Steve Weintraub this information didn’t faze him. The moment he found out he’d be working with Woo, the script was a nonfactor.
So, how does Silent Night manage a nearly 2-hour movie with no dialogue? The premise of the film is that a father (Kinnaman) and his son (Anthony Giulietti) are playing in their yard on Christmas Eve when they’re caught in a gang’s crossfire. Tragically, the little boy doesn’t survive, and the wounds sustained by Kinnaman’s character leave him unable to speak. Also starring Catalina Sandino Moreno, Kid Cudi, Harold Torres, and from the producers of John Wick, Silent Night quickly takes a dark turn as an action-packed vengeance thriller, helmed by a genre pioneer.
In this interview, which you can watch in the video above or read in the transcript below, Kinnaman details the challenges of shooting a film with no dialogue, and how he had to adapt his approach to acting in order to pull it off. To keep the story propulsive, and under Woo’s direction, stunts became the heart of the feature, and Kinnaman shares which sequences were the toughest to shoot, the dangers of the stunts, and more.
