Bought:
=====> Book Passage, Corte Madera, hosted an event with, Anna Kendrick to celebrate the release of her memoir, Scrappy Little Nobody. I was not able to take a live photo as it was a no-no. But the theatre was packed and we were all thrilled to see her. Anna's favorite musical is Parade. And, her favorite part of her book is the guide at the end. She was a riot especially with her power poses (for confidence)!

Director: Martin Scorsese
Screenplay: Martin Scorsese, Jay Cocks
Based on book by: Shûsaku Endô
Release date: January 2017
Starring: Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver, Yôsuke Kubozuka
-Drama, History | imdb | my rating: 4
Based on Shūsaku Endō’s 1966 novel by the same name, Silence has been a passion project for director Martin Scorsese for over 20 years. Set in the 17th Century, the film follows two Jesuit priests who face violence and persecution when they travel to Japan to find their missing mentor (Liam Neeson) and propagate Christianity. The priests, Sebastião Rodrigues (Andrew Garfield) and Francisco Garrpe (Adam Driver), arrive in a country that, under the Tokugawa shogunate, has banned Catholicism and forbidden almost all foreign contact. There they witness the persecution of Japanese Christians at the hands of a government that wishes to purge Japan of all western influence.
Oscar nominated for Cinematography.
I was treated to an early premiere of Martin's latest project, Silence hosted by the SF Film Society. He along with Thelma Schoonmaker (Film Editor), a producer (sorry don't remember her name) and actors, Andrew, Adam and Issei Ogata were present for a Q&A session.
