Where to Watch Milczenie
- Cubane6 lutego 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 grudnia 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.

XVII wiek. Dwóch młodych jezuitów pokonuje tysiące kilometrów, aby potajemnie przedostać się do Japonii, gdzie toczy się bezwzględna walka z chrześcijaństwem. Misjonarze poszukują swojego nauczyciela – słynącego z odwagi kapłana, o którym krążą plotki, że wyrzekł się wiary katolickiej i został buddyjskim mnichem. To, czego doświadczą, wystawi ich umiejętności przetrwania, a także wszystko, w co wierzą, na najcięższą próbę. [opis dystrybutora dvd]
