VIDEO : Martin Scorsese's 'Silence' a Religious Experience

"Silence," the story of Jesuit priests facing persecution in Japan is one of master filmmaker Martin Scorcese's most spiritually moving films to date. The film fearlessly questions spirituality, and emerges in a dizzying climb that offers frustratingly few answers but all the right questions. Scorcese, raised Roman Catholic, has tackled the issue of faith before, both directly and implicitly works in which belief erupts in bloodshed.
