In 17th century Japan two Jesuit priests travel to rescue their colleague and mentor in a land where Christianity is forbidden.
Punishing but powerful Scorsese drama about suppressed faith, strongly reminiscent of his earlier work but made more as a slow solemnity than anything too vibrant cinematically, although beautiful to look at, with performances and characterisation that fight the good fight to the end.
