After Harrison Ford Thursday and his “Indiana Jones”, another legend of American cinema comes to prove on the famous steps that he is still alive: Palme d’or in 1976 with “Taxi Driver”, president of the jury in 1998, Scorsese, considered one of the biggest names in world cinema, presents his latest film, “Killers of the Flower Moon”.
The biggest secret remains on the film until its official presentation, with the exception of the first images that the director unveiled in Las Vegas at the end of April and his trailer just released online, promising a film full of tension. , to polished photography.
Scorsese brings together for the first time two of his favorite actors, Robert De Niro, 79, (“Taxi Driver”, “Raging Bull”, “Mean Streets”…) and Leonardo DiCaprio, 48, (“The Wolf of Wall Street”, “Shutter Island”), in a new universe, that of an Amerindian tribe, Osage, holder of a land rich in black gold and suddenly victim of murders and disappearances.
DiCaprio plays Ernest Burkhart, a man in love with a Native American (actress Lily Gladstone), who finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy hatched by cattle tycoon William Hale, played by an oil-hungry Robert De Niro. An FBI agent, played by Jesse Plemons, is tasked with solving the murders.
The director wanted to show how some Americans “have been able to rationalize violence – even once morest those they love – by simply saying: + This is civilization. One group enters and another fate +”, he explained, to Los Angeles.
-Out of competition –
The film tackles “a forgotten part of our past”, abounded Leonardo DiCaprio, who was initially to play the detective of the FBI, but preferred to opt for a murky role and spent time with the Osage Native Americans.
The film was shot at the actual locations where the Osage live. “It was regarding immersing yourself in this world,” insisted the New York director, despite the heat and the coyotes prowling the Oklahoma prairies.
The screening of this event film in Cannes is a strong symbol for cinema and dark rooms: Martin Scorsese had chosen Netflix and the small screen for his previous opus, “The Irishman”, with De Niro, Pacino and Joe Pesci .
This new 3:30 film, at 200 million dollars, also wears the colors of a tech company, Apple. But the apple giant has agreed to release it in theaters (October 18 in France), which opens the doors to the Cannes Film Festival, defender of the big screen.
Until the end, the Festival dreamed of including this Scorsese in the race for the Palme d’Or, but the producers preferred to keep their place out of competition.
On the competition side, Saturday will be punctuated by a big gap: a first film, “Banel et Adama”, by the Franco-Senegalese Ramata-Toulaye Sy, 36, and “May December”, the last Todd Haynes (“Dark Waters”, “I’m not there”…) with a duo of female stars, Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore.
