- Cubane6. Februar 2026It's an important story that is based on real events, but I think the ideal number of times to see this movie is zero. It is a beautifully shot and masterfully acted descent into abject misery that tortures the viewer with the extreme runtime while it tortures every main character for literal hours. The extent to which Christians were persecuted in Japan is contemptible. But rest assured Portugal wasn't sending missionaries there to save anyone, they were trying to exert soft power over another potential vassal state to turn belief into subjugation and profit. I only pity the priests for being too naive to see they were being used.
- Joe G14. Dezember 2025Like all Scorsese films, this is beautifully shot. And like many Scorsese films, it is bloated—filled with scenes that could be trimmed or removed entirely to make a stronger, more impactful work. There is an awkward imbalance throughout: between historical accuracy, dialects and accents, and characters who waver back and forth in belief and conviction. While this may be more natural and true to life, this is still a film telling a story, and that indulgence works against its central question—the silence of an absent God. There are moments of undeniable brilliance. The image of the crucifix accompanied only by the sound of a cricket is haunting and perfectly composed. The film repeatedly raises powerful questions: the value of religious totems versus faith itself, whether faith should outweigh one’s life, what it means to teach peasants about an afterlife defined by suffering and death, and whether confession serves anyone beyond those seeking absolution without change. Scenes between Liam Neeson and Andrew Garfield that interrogate morality, spirituality, and belief are compelling and feel like the beginnings of a deeper conversation—one the entire film should have committed to. Too often, however, the dialogue lacks the insight or force those questions demand, or is weakened by two hours of narrative wavering. The final forty-five minutes are where the film’s ideas finally coalesce, and they carry the most weight. That stretch would have been far more effective had the middle not dragged so heavily before it. A film rich in intention and craft, but one that mistakes endurance for profundity.

1638 brechen Pater Sebastião Rodrigues und Pater Francisco Garupe von Portugal ins für die westliche Welt völlig abgeschottete Japan auf, um der Wahrheit hinter den undenkbaren Gerüchten nachzugehen, dass ihr berühmter Lehrer Cristóvão Ferreira seinem Glauben abgeschworen habe. Nach ihrer Ankunft erleben sie die brutale und unmenschliche Verfolgung der Christen durch die japanischen Machthaber. Angesichts der Ereignisse in einer Gesellschaft, die keine Toleranz kennt und in der der Tod an der Tagesordnung ist, stellt sich Sebastião auf seiner Reise durch das von der Gewaltherrschaft der Shogune zerrissene Land die immerwährende Frage: Wie kann Gott zu all dem schweigen?
