Scorsese returns with Silence!!
A story that had taken him 30 years to get to the screen, not to mention 15 months in post production, it felt very much like we would never see Scorsese’s tale of 13th Century Jesuit priests searching Feudal Japan for a fellow priest. Rumours abound of 4 hr cuts and director perfectionism gone to…
