![Silence: A Flawed, but Beautiful Look at Faith Under Fire [Review]](https://i1.wp.com/www.foxforcefivenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Silence.jpg?resize=720%2C300&ssl=1 "Silence: A Flawed, but Beautiful Look at Faith Under Fire [Review]")
Given director Martin Scorsese’s film background, which mostly consists of stories centered around crime and gang violence, it comes as a surprise that Silence has been his passion project for 30 years. After numerous legal battles over the years, Scorsese was finally able to make Silence happen. At two hours and 40 minutes, however, Silence is a lot to digest. And while the journey itself is long and tiresome at times, it’s message, told with a great script spoken by an exceptional ensemble cast, makes it feel significant. Though sometimes brutal, Silence paints a beautiful picture of a clash between culture and religion, where characters question the sacrifices they are willing make to keep their faith and driven to the point of expulsion.
From Paramount Pictures, Fabrica de Cine, Ai Films, writer Jay Cocks (Gangs of New York) and director Martin Scorsese, comes the highly anticipated drama Silence. Starring Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver, Liam Neeson, Tadanobu Asano, Issey Ogata, Ciaran Hinds, Yosuke Kubozuka and Yoshi Oida, the film is scheduled for limited theatrical release on December 23, with a wide release planned for January 2017.
