Abstract

This essay examines performances of silence in Cristian Mungiu's 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days. Positing silence as a performative strategy that can bring agency to communist subjects and highlight oppression by rendering visible and intelligible their limited choices, we complicate traditional views on silence, extend work on silence as resistance, and demonstrate that the performance of silence can serve as a productive space for generating meaning and enacting resistance.
