Feature Films With No Speech

by Madotsuki_the_Dreamer • Created 12 years ago • Modified 1 week ago
This is a list of feature films that contain no speech - that means not a single spoken word in the entire film; not even narration or singing. Silent films only count if they have no intertitles.

This list does not include short films. If a film on here is listed as a short film, then a feature-length version is also available.

  • 12. The Art of Vision

    19654h 10m

The 'plot' is of a man who goes up a mountain with a dog to chop down a tree, but he has some unspecified transcendental experience while he is there.
