Silence

Dir: Martin Scorsese: USA 2016 (161 mins) (Member’s Request)

Director Martin Scorsese’s rumination as faith and religion, based on Shusaku Endo’s 1966 novel tells the story of two 17th century missionaries who undertake a perilous journey to Japan to search for their missing mentor and to spread the gospel. This sprawling epic is a deeply personal treatise on the human condition with Scorsese appearing to be searching for his own soul. (This film includes some violent scenes).
