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 its 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

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."
