WATCH: Rolling Stone: How sign language thriller 'The Tribe' became 2015's most intense film.
Inside story on Ukrainian drama about gangs in a school for the Deaf that's left audiences speechless. It was only 100 feet away, but it may as well have been another universe. As a child growing up in Ukraine, filmmaker Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy would walk to his classes every morning and observe the students who attended the school for the Deaf across the street. As his classmates socialized with each other, the director would watch the other children from afar, fascinated by the sight of dozens of kids silently signing with each other.
"This way of communication looked like a miracle," Slaboshpytskiy says, calling from his home in Kiev. "People were directly exchanging feelings and emotions without words and it really impressed me."
The 40-year-old filmmaker channeled those vivid memories into The Tribe, his brutal, bewildering debut feature centered on a Ukrainian Boarding School for the Deaf, in a tale told entirely through sign language. The unique, unflinching thriller focuses on the school's teenage gang members who rob, rape and murder under the tutelage of a corrupt woodshop teacher. After one of the students - a pimp who oversees two teenage prostitutes from the school - is killed, new kid on campus Sergey (Grigoriy Fesenko) takes his place; problems arise when he falls in love with Anna (Yana Novikova), one of the escorts. (Coming full circle, Slaboshpytskiy used his actual elementary school as the film's main location.)
With no subtitles, translations or voiceovers to guide viewers, the film - which opens June 17 in New York - unravels like a puzzle, as certain plot points, stripped of initial comprehension, only reveal themselves in subsequent scenes...
