(Liam Neeson)
Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese draws amazing
performances from his cast in Silence, a drama about two priests who travel to
Japan looking for their mentor but find a hostile place.
Silence is a 2016
historical period drama film written by Jay
Cocks and Scorsese, based on the 1966 novel of the same name by Shūsaku Endō.
Set in Nagasaki, Japan, the film was shot entirely in Taiwan around Taipei.
The film stars Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver, Liam Neeson,
Tadanobu Asano and Ciarán Hinds. The plot follows two 17th-century Jesuit
priests who travel from Portugal to Edo-era Japan to locate their missing
mentor and spread Catholic Christianity. The story is set in the time when it
was common for Christians to hide from persecution following the suppression of
Japanese Roman Catholics during the Shimabara Rebellion (1637–1638) against the
Tokugawa shogunate.
Silence will be
screened on M-Net Channel 101 on April 1, 2018, at 22h50. Rating 16V
