173. The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) & Silence (2016)

This week, we discuss two Martin Scorsese films dealing with Christianity.

The first is The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), which presents a deeply human portrait of Jesus, torn between divine duty and earthly desires.

The second is Silence (2016), which follows two Jesuit priests facing persecution and crisis of faith while searching for their mentor in 17th-century Japan.
