Check that, ‘Silence’ is opening locally
As it turns out, Martin Scorsese's film "Silence" will open in this part of the Inland Northwest on Friday.
Normally, such films — not particularly in the mainstream, near-three-hour running time, dealing with arcane subjects such as Jesuit evangelism — don't play in all theaters. And "Silence" fits all three criteria: a two-hour, 41-minute running time, a plot dealing with Jesuit priests attempting to introduce their version of Christianity to Japan.
Scorsese's film, however, is opening at various times in most area theaters.
It's on the schedule of all three Regal Cinemas locations (NorthTown, Spokane Valley and Coeur d'Alene), at both Village Center sites (Wandermere and Airway Heights) and downtown at AMC River Park Square.
Here are some critical comments about the film:
