Robert, Bennett, and Craig round out their discussion of Scorsese with a look at his third religious epic

In the second Split Picks devoted to Martin Scorsese, Bennett Glace, Robert Delany, and Craig Wright conclude their talk about the director’s career with a deep look at his 2016 film Silence. Based on Shusaku Endo’s 1966 novel about Catholic missionaries attempting to spread their religion to Japan, Scorsese’s third religious epic follows Fathers Rodrigues (Andrew Garfield) and Garupe (Adam Driver) who enter the country to track down their old teacher, Ferreira (Liam Neeson), who is rumored to have renounced his religion.

Listen to the concluding episode to find out how Silence relates to their prior talk about The King of Comedy, how Scorsese’s adaptation stands up to Masahiro Shinoda’s earlier adaptation, and hear who Bennett accuses of Scorsese apostasy.
