Silence (2016 film)
Silence is a 2016 epic historical drama film directed by Martin Scorsese and with a screenplay 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, using studios in Taipei and Taichung and locations in Hualien County.
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 via Macau to locate their missing mentor and spread Catholic Christianity.
The story is set in a time when it was common for the faith's Japanese adherents to hide from the persecution that resulted from the suppression of Christianity in Japan during the Shimabara Rebellion( 1637 – 1638) against the Tokugawa shogunate.
These are now called the" kakure kirishitan", or" hidden Christians".
It is the second filmed adaptation of Endō's novel, following a 1971 film of the same name.
The pre-production phase of the filmmaking for" Silence" went through a cycle of over two decades of setbacks and reassessments.
After filming of" The Wolf of Wall Street" concluded in January 2013, Scorsese committed to following it up with" Silence".
On April 19, 2013, Scorsese indicated that he would begin production on" Silence" in 2014.
Irwin Winkler was then announced as a producer, as were Randall Emmett and George Furla, who would provide financing through their company Emmett/ Furla Films.
Soon thereafter, planning was made for the film to be shot in Taiwan.
A long- time passion project for Scorsese, which he had developed for over 25 years, the film premiered in Rome on November 29, 2016, and was released in the United States on December 23, 2016.
Although a box office failure, it received positive critical response, with both the National Board of Review and American Film Institute selecting" Silence" as one of their top ten films of the year.
The film also received an Academy Award nomination for Best Cinematography at the 89th Academy Awards.
" Silence" is the third of Scorsese's three films about religious figures struggling with challenges of faith, following" The Last Temptation of Christ"( 1988) and" Kundun"( 1997).
