Martin Scorsese's highly anticipated film “Killers of the Flower Moon” premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 20, 2023, to a nine-minute standing ovation.[0]<\/a><\/sup> The film, which is based on the best-selling non-fiction book by David Grann, features a star-studded cast, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone. The story revolves around a series of murders in 1920s Oklahoma, committed after oil was discovered on tribal land.[1]<\/a><\/sup> <\/p>\n

Scorsese and his co-writer Eric Roth have adapted Grann\u2019s book, but instead of focusing on the FBI investigation, they go for the jugular and soul of a moment in time where greed and money drove white men to unspeakable acts.[2]<\/a><\/sup> Scorsese and his team have created a work that firmly holds its ground, with an intricate romantic plot at its core.[2]<\/a><\/sup> DiCaprio's performance in the film has been hailed as the best of his career, as he portrays the character of Ernest Burkhart with nuance and subtlety.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The film will be released in cinemas on October 6, 2023, and will be available for streaming on Apple TV+.[4]<\/a><\/sup> It will first be released in the UK and US on October 6 (limited) and October 20 (wide).[5]<\/a><\/sup> The official synopsis of the film reads: ‘At the turn of the 20th century, oil brought a fortune to the Osage Nation, who became some of the richest people in the world overnight.[6]<\/a><\/sup> The wealth of these Native Americans immediately attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, extorted, and stole as much Osage money as they could before resorting to murder.'[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Scorsese's ability to tell any story rubs up against his ultimate admission that this might not be his story to tell.[3]<\/a><\/sup> Regardless of how one may perceive it, Scorsese transforms “Killers of the Flower Moon” into the type of narrative that he excels at crafting more than any other – a tale of avarice, deceit, and the flawed essence of a nation founded on the notion that it was up for grabs by anyone unscrupulous enough to seize it.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Overall, “Killers of the Flower Moon” is a staggering and brilliant crime epic from Martin Scorsese that explores a dark and largely unexplored chapter of American history.[8]<\/a><\/sup> The film's multi-faceted character study about the men behind the massacre, and its shift into historical Americana, breathes a soulfulness into the material that feels distinct from most of the director\u2019s output.[9]<\/a><\/sup> It is a film that stands firmly on its own and will undoubtedly be remembered as a classic.[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
