Intense Japanese Trailer for Martin Scorsese's SILENCE

"The price of your glory is their suffering."

Director Martin Scorsese has finally a passion project that he has been trying to make for the past 28 years. The film is called Silence, and it's an adaptation of a novel by the same name written by Shûsaku Endô. Judging from the trailers that have been released so far, the film is yet another Scorsese masterpiece. I've heard that this is one of the best films of his career. The movie has an incredibly talented cast that includes Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver, and Liam Neeson, and today we have an intense new Japanese trailer to share with you. 

Two Jesuit priests, Sebastião Rodrigues and Francis Garrpe, travel to 17th century Japan which has, under the Tokugawa shogunate, banned Catholicism and almost all foreign contact. There they witness the persecution of Japanese Christians at the hands of their own government which wishes to purge Japan of all western influence. Eventually the priests separate and Rodrigues travels the countryside, wondering why God remains silent while His children suffer.

Silence also stars Tadanobu AsanoShin'ya TsukamotoYôsuke KubozukaIssei Ogata, and Yoshi Oida. It opens in theaters on December 23rd. 

In the seventeenth century, two Jesuit priests face violence and persecution when they travel to Japan to locate their mentor and propagate Christianity.
