About This Movie

Scorsese dives deep into a dark chapter of American history with 'Killers of the Flower Moon.' The film captures the oppressive atmosphere of 1920s Oklahoma, where the discovery of oil leads to a brutal string of murders targeting the Osage Nation. It’s not just a crime story; it’s a haunting exploration of greed and betrayal. The pacing feels deliberate, almost methodical, which adds to the tension as the FBI investigates. Performances by DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone are raw and compelling, grounding the film in emotional reality. The cinematography is striking, using natural light to evoke a sense of place and time. You'll notice how Scorsese’s style blends with historical authenticity, making it a distinctive entry in his filmography.

Shot on location in Oklahoma for authenticity.Running time approx. 206 minutes.Cinematography by Rodrigo Prieto, rich in detail.Based on the book by David Grann.
