Review of Silence (2017) by Joel A — 19 Feb 2017
It's such a shame that this film is shaping up to be a lesser known Martin Scorsese film since it's such a masterpiece. The story of two priests who go to research what happened to their mentor & minister Father Farrer.
Directed with such finesse & craft & exquisitely shot this is slow moving but seldom dull film that shows the dedication of faith needed to even set a foot on the shores of Japan in the 17th century.
Acting was sensational from Adam Driver & Andrew Garfield who truly took the audience on a spiritual journey. This is a deep thought provoking film that's worth it's near 3 hour duration, a master film from a master filmmaker.
