This week we have less Portuguese premieres, contrasting to last week. So our highlight goes to two films: Silence, the so awaited Martin Scorses’s film, and Fool Moon, who was in Competition at Cannes Film Festival.

 

Silence, Martin Scorsese (Mexico, Thailand, USA)

Synopsis: Martin Scorsese's SILENCE tells the story of two Christian missionaries (Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver) who face the ultimate test of faith when they travel to Japan in search of their missing mentor (Liam Neeson) - at a time when Christianity was outlawed and their presence forbidden. The celebrated director's 28-year journey to bring Shusaku Endo's 1966 acclaimed novel to life will be in theaters this Christmas.
