The big one this week is Martin Scorsese’s SILENCE (@ BLU). Based on the novel by Shusako Endo (previously made into a film by Masahiro Shinoda), it’s the story of Jesuit priests attempting to spread Christianity in Japan, where it had been outlawed. This is possibly Scorsese’s final word (and his masterpiece) on faith and sacrifice, themes that have played a huge role in his career. One of the best movies of 2016.
