The world's greatest living director, Martin Scorsese, directs these three critically acclaimed epics, exploring challenges of faith and delving deep into the depths of the human soul.

The Last Temptation Of Christ (1988) - Imprint Collection #326 The controversial Academy Award-nominated portrait of Jesus Christ starring Willem Dafoe, adapted from the Nikos Kazantzakis novel of the same name. A visually breathtaking re-imagining of faith and sacrifice, guilt and redemption, sin and atonement that follows Jesus Christ's journey to accept his divinity and ultimate fate. With supporting performances from Harvey Keitel, Barbara Hershey, Andre Gregory, Harry Dean Stanton, and David Bowie, this remarkable picture earned Scorsese an Oscar nomination for Best Director, shot entirely in the breathtaking backdrop of Morocco. Special Features and Technical Specs: 1080p High-definition presentation on Blu-ray NEW Audio Commentary by film historian & critic Jim Hemphill NEW Visual Essay by Kat Ellinger Interview with director Martin Scorsese (1988) Theatrical Trailer Audio English LPCM 2.0 / DTS-HD 5.1 Original Aspect Ratio 1.85:1 Optional English HOH Subtitles Kundun (1997) - Imprint Collection #327 Based on the life of Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, Kundun is the Academy Award nominated biographical drama that tells the story of the exiled political and spiritual leader of Tibet. Written by Melissa Mathison (E.T. The Extra Terrestrial), who developed a lasting friendship with the Dalai Lama after meeting him in 1990 while writing this script, going on to work as an activist for the Tibetan independence movement. This is the incredible true story of one of the world's most fascinating leaders - Tibet's Dalai Lama - and his daring struggle to rule a nation at one of the most challenging times in it's history. With superb direction from Martin Scorsese, jaw-dropping cinematography by Roger Deakins, and a mesmerising original score by Philip Glass, this surreal, long-buried, critically praised epic is ripe for rediscovery. "Hauntingly beautiful, raptly serious and vastly ambitious, Kundun is exactly the sort of movie that critics complain the major Hollywood studios never make - and then tend to ignore or underrate when it finally appears." - The Chicago Tribune Special Features & Technical Specs: Disc One: 1080p High-definition presentation on Blu-ray NEW Audio Commentary by film scholar Michael Berry & author/film director Peter Markham Theatrical Trailer Audio English LPCM 2.0 / DTS-HD 5.1 Original Aspect Ratio 2.35:1 Optional English HOH Subtitles Disc Two: NEW An appreciation of the Phillip Glass score of Kundun by Max Evry "In Search of Kundun with Martin Scorsese" - feature documentary on the making of Kundun (1998) "Compassion in Exile" - a portrait of His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama (1992) Interview with director Martin Scorsese Interview with composer Philip Glass Interview with screenwriter Melissa Mathison Interview with "In Search of Kundun" director Michael Henry Wilson Vintage Interviews with cast & crew Silence (2016) - Imprint Collection #328 Based on the 1966 novel of the same name by Shusaku Endo, Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver star in this Academy Award-nominated Scorsese religious epic. Two 17th century Portuguese missionaries undertake a perilous journey to Japan to search for their missing mentor, Father Crist v o Ferreira, and to spread the gospel of Christianity. Four out of four stars from Matt Zoller Seitz at Roger Ebert: "Silence is a monumental work, and a punishing one. It puts you through hell with no promise of enlightenment, only a set of questions and propositions, sensations and experiences. This is not the sort of film you 'like' or 'don't like.' It's a film that you experience and then live with."
