You might even find yourself wondering whether you need to find more spirituality, more faith, more meaning in your life - even if it's not in the form of Christianity. Full Review

A theologically complex, yet exquisitely beautiful and spiritual journey, one's patience is rewarded with a richness and soul searching introspective experience that lingers long after the curtain falls on Silence. Full Review

The cinematography by the great Rodrigo Prieto uncovers gradations of light and color you didn’t know existed -- the visuals hover between reality and woodcut. As a work of craft, SILENCE is unparalleled.

It raises a discussion about the value of religion for the human species, although the experience of almost three hours of mono-circumspection demands too much of the viewer. [Full Review in Spanish] Full Review

More than anything else, Silence is a meditation, an acknowledgment that when I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child and I understood as a child. Now I am older, and it's time to put away childish things. Full Review

Product Description:

In this passion project from director Martin Scorsese (who spent nearly three decades trying to get it made), a 17th century Portuguese Jesuit priest (Andrew Garfield) receives word that his mentor (Liam Neeson) has renounced his faith while on a mission in Japan. Concerned, he travels to the island nation with another clergyman (Adam Driver) to investigate, only to find that the country's Christian population are being systematically exterminated. Witnessing the inglorious reality of torture and martyrdom committed against Japanese Christians rocks his faith to the core. Based on Shusaku Endo's acclaimed 1966 novel.
