Legendary director Martin Scorsese’s Silence tells the stunning and powerful story of two Christian missionaries (Adam Driver and Oscar nominee Andrew Garfield) who travel to Japan in search of their missing mentor (Academy Award nominee Liam Neeson) at a time when Christianity was outlawed and their presence forbidden.
When they are captured and imprisoned, both men are plunged into an odyssey that will test their faith, challenge their sanity and, perhaps, risk their very lives in this passionate, harrowing, beautiful masterpiece.
This film represents the celebrated director's 28-year journey to bring Shusaku Endo’s 1966 acclaimed novel to life.
Silence was nominated for numerous awards upon its release including the Academy Award for Best Cinematography.
