Join the Film Committee for a very special sneak preview of Martin Scorsese’s long-gestating passion project, “Silence,” on Thursday, January 12. Nearly 30 years after he read Shusaku Endo’s Tanizaki Prize-winning 1966 novel about the persecution of “hidden Christians” (kakure kirishitan) in 17th-century Japan, acquired the rights and set about adapting the monumental work, the legendary director has completed the final in his trilogy of faith-based films, and it is being awaited around the world with enormous anticipation. “Silence” tells the story of two Portuguese “padres,” Sebastian Rodrigues (Andrew Garfield) and Francisco Garupe (Adam Driver), who journey from Macao to Japan to search for their missing mentor Christavao Ferreira (Liam Neeson), after receiving the startling news that he has gone native. The priests begin their arduous journey to the Japanese heart of darkness with a lapsed Christian named Kichijiro (Yosuke Kubozuka), settling in with clandestine worshippers in the tiny village of Tomogi. But soon enough, the area’s ruthless Inquisitor Inoue (Issey Ogata) throws Rodrigues and his new followers behind bars, and sets about putting their faith to the ultimate test. “The price for your glory,” he gloats to the padre, “is their suffering.” Through it all, despite Rodrigues’ entreaties to God, He remains silent.
