PART TWO of Mieke Marple’s film \Cold and silentlike a heart\" Visual effects and art direction by Francisco García Nava "Cold and silentlike a heart" is a feminist reinterpretation of Antonín Dvořák's symphonic poem: "The Water Goblin" (1896)based on a poem of the same name by Czech folklorist Karel Jaromír Erben from 1853. The poem is about a goblin who abducts a young maiden and forces her to bare his child. It ends with the girl reconnecting with her mother and refusing to return to her unhappy life with the goblinwhich the goblin then punishes by murdering their child. In Marple's reimaginingtold through animated images and select stanzas from Erben's poem (below)the goblin is removed from the narrative. The focus becomes the girl's mental state and what now reads as her decision to end the life of her own child—a la a kind of abortion. The story is still a heavy onebut it at least depicts the young girl with her unwanted pregnancy as a person of agency rather than an agent-less victim.
