The Aerial / La Antena ( 2007 ) - Argentinian 20s Inspired Sci Fi Fantasy

The Aerial is what appears to be a essentially a silent movie from Argentina, the film has been doing the festival rounds, most recently hitting fantasty film fest. A trailer can be seen below. I believe the only dvd release so far is a Double Disc Collectors Edition in Germany. The film appears to be hitting UK Cinemas in November courtesy of Dogwoof.
An entire city has fallen speechless during a long, harsh winter. An evil, unscrupulous man, Mr. TV, sole owner of the images that enliven the city and of a wide range of products produced under his own personal label, implements a sinister secret plan to eternally dominate each of the souls inhabiting the place. To achieve this monopoly, he has funded the creation of a dangerous machine transmitting hypnotic TV images inducing compulsive purchase of the goods bearing his brand name. The strange contraption is operated by a singing voice, and he therefore orders the kidnap of a beautiful, captivating woman, the only person who has mysteriously not lost the ability to speak

Saw this one early this year at the Rotterdam Film Festival and as blown away by it.
A haunting, visually very gorgeous silent film where the fact that it’s ‘silent’ (for the most part...not all) is incorporated very beautifully into the story. And a it’s a great story as well

How much dialog is there? It it worth picking up the German DVD or will the lack of English options on that be a problem?

there’s very little dialogue that’s spoken in it if I remember correctly, if I’d have to guess 10-20 sentences
but
people DO talk. only they don’t have a voice but texts (letters) float out of their mouths and all over the screen when they speak (other characters can read these texts, like us, and even interact with them: grab/destroy etc)
it’d be also interesting to see how they go about ‘solving’ this in foreign language countries that are used to dubbing....
