Silence , directed by Martin Scorcese, is based on the acclaimed 1966 novel of the same name by the Japanese author Shusaku Endo. It is the 17th-century story of two Portuguese Jesuit missionaries, Rodrigues and Garrpe – played by Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver – who travel to Japan to track down their mentor, Father Ferreira.
At the time, Christianity was banned in Japan, and those who practised the faith were tortured and executed. Faced with this, Ferreira (played by Liam Neeson) apparently renounced his religion through a ritual known as fumie – in which Christians were forced to trample over a religious icon such as a crucifix in order to prove repudiation of their faith.
Tens of thousands of Japanese Christians were persecuted, tortured and killed over the 250 years that the religion was outlawed. The ban was lifted in 1873, but Christians are still a tiny minority – less than 1% – in a country dominated by Shinto and Buddhism.
Paramount is giving a limited run for Martin Scorsese’s Silenceon Dec. 23 just in time for awards season with a wide expansion in January,
That’s a similar platform that 20th Century Fox/Regency took with their Oscar-winner The Revenant: going limited at Christmas and wider in January.
Scorsese counts 12 Oscar nominations and one win for directing 2006’s The Departed. His noms break down as follows: Eight directing (Raging Bull, Last Temptation Of Christ, Goodfellas, Gangs Of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, Hugo and The Wolf Of Wall Street), two writing (Goodfellas, Age Of Innocence) and two best picture (Wolf Of Wall Street, Hugo).
