At the far side of the world, one man finds a love that changes his life. 1861. French silk merchant Hervé Joncour (Michael Pitt--Last Days) travels to Japan, a nation closed to all foreigners. There, from an enigmatic nobleman, Joncour clandestinely obtains eggs to breed silkworms--and break the Japanese stranglehold on the precious fabric. There Joncour also meets a woman. They do not touch; they do not even speak. And he cannot read the note she sends him until he has returned to his country. But in the moment he does, Joncour is possessed.

Rotten Tomatoes® Score

TOMATOMETER®

Critics Consensus: Silk contains a simple love triangle story but director Francois Gerard goes to painstaking lengths to turn it into a protracted and wearisome art film.

Cinemanía (Spain)

Toni Vall

Neither more nor less than exactly what it was expected to be. [Full review in Spanish]

It is worse than a straightforward bad film, it is a middling, stagnant film that could have been extraordinary.

A flat story, lean characters and a miscast lead make this a poor facsimile of period epics like Farewell My Concubine.
