I suspect this is a great film if you find the leads sexy, there's lots of opportunities to watch them getting jiggy with it... Otherwise its very slow, repetetive and dull. We watched a lot of it on fast forward (the main bonus of it being silent). Multiple different scenes of the leads getting off in different locations, with no discernable reason in terms of forwarding a plot other than to say 'hey they are really into each other'.
Amazingly one of the leads does manage to portray a simpering clingy priss quite well. However, the main problem with it being silent is it just makes most of their love for one and other seem very shallow. As the audience you are never able to learn why it is they like each other, other than that they look cute.
The university campus does look great though and it was nice to see a gay film not about coming out and with no troubles of homophobia.

This film does a wonderful job of portraying the utter joy and utter heartache that can exist when you're in love.
The actors speak rarely, but still manage to convey their feelings and thoughts via actions and body language. I felt the actors in this film were really very good at getting across how their characters were feeling.
This film was very enjoyable to watch, it is unusual and beautifully shot, Why not give it try!

Broken Sky slips between waking and dreaming. With so little in the way of spoken words it is like a silent movie, this is frustrating at first, as it is not the norm and does not spoon-feed us a recognisable formula. Very little happens during the first hour, it is a repetitive fantasy, but this gently builds characters.
The emotional range of the film is restricted as the characters are gagged. There is no reason for this; they are from the same place and speak the same language.
It is somewhere between a film and photographs, so is not completely revealing. The cinematography is sensitive and subtle, with moments of beauty, it makes me think of Edward Hopper and Cindy Sherman. The soundtrack stood out, employing opera flowing into strings then techno. And being gay is not an issue in the world depicted here.

No subtitles
It's not completely a silent film and it would have been enhanced with some subtitling. As others have said, the boy on boy action is delightful; two very attractive lads!

truly magnificent!!
Broken Sky is a truly magnificent film. Simple plot; two boys meet on a campus, fall in love, become lovers, fall out over infidelity and drift apart. Hardly any word is spoken. Read more
