À propos de ce film

Legendary director Martin Scorsese’s Silence tells the 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. 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.

Notes et avis

The cinematography is gorgeous. I was immediately brought into this world, or in particular this time period. The performances were wonderful although at sometimes were kind off. It's a powerful look at faith and how it effects us as humans. My only complaint is it could've been cut down. While it didn't feel drawn out to the point where I was looking at the clock, there definitely could've been small scenes and shots that if cut, had no effect on the film. Overall it was an enjoyable experience. 7/10

Christians and lovers of God beware!!.. The description is misleading.. I went into this movie thinking it would encourage my faith. This movie is about losing faith. It will take you down with it and leave you feeling hopeless and empty.. Beautiful cinematography , but poisonous to the soul..

He had all the components to make this a great movie. But the internal struggle that he was trying to illustrate just never crescendoed. It was a flat storyline through the whole journey, which made the almost 3 hour viewing tedious.
