The Silent Treatment

Rating: 7/10 (4 November 2019)

In this expensive, long-nurtured and extremely long 'personal' project Scorsese again tackles head-on the religious component which is a subtext to most of his films; in which God as usual demonstrates His boundless love for humanity by maintaining an aloof silence to the wailing, gnashing of teeth and purging of the flesh (usually bathed of course in beautiful amber shades by Oscar-nominated cameraman Rodrigo Prieto) that His silence permits to continue.
