Film Details

Martin Scorsese’s longtime dream project follows two 17^th-century Portuguese Jesuit priests (Andrew Garfied, Adam Driver) who journey to Japan to find a long-missing third priest (Liam Neeson). This man, their mentor, has reputedly renounced his faith in the face of anti-Christian persecution by the shogunate. This magisterial historical drama has the sweep of Kurosawa and the spirituality of Mizoguchi. “Five stars (highest rating)… Ranks among the greatest achievements of spiritually minded cinema…Scorsese has hit the rare heights of Ingmar Bergman and Carl Theodor Dreyer.” –Time Out New York. DCP. 161 min.
