Yet another great fresco by Scorsese of

Diego Cineriflessi

Scorsese's cinema is certainly no longer the revolutionary cinema it once was, but his directorial genius remains undeniable, even when the style becomes more classic as in this case. Killers of the flower moon has the pleasure of storytelling, the fluidity of images and an exceptional technical cast. Scorsese creates a rhapsody in images to tell a little-known but highly impactful true story. The work begins in a strange way by taking us to a county where the whites are the servants of the Native Americans, because the oil flows in rivers from the Indian lands. The whites, however, do not sit idle and so a subtle war begins for the possession of land rights. The deus ex machina is a De Niro in form as we haven't seen him for years, Mephistiphelian without ever boasting, capable of embodying the ambiguity of evil. The soundtrack dictates the pace of the film and the cinematography darkens scene after scene, when the abyss gets closer. However, the pre-final doesn't work; the whole procedural part struggles to integrate with the rest of the film and slows down an ending which is then narrated in a simple and original way, unfortunately even hasty given the total length of the work. Killers of the flowers moon is a good fresco of an era, it won't be remembered as the best work of a master due to a fraying screenplay, but it should still be seen to understand how the camera should move.

Review of

Ignazio Venzano

Based on the true and little-known story of the Osage Indians in Oklahoma, who became rich thanks to the oil discovered on their reservation, the film highlights the attempt of some whites, in particular a deputy sheriff (De Niro), to take over their wealth even through murders and misdeeds of various kinds. The film often conveys well the dark atmosphere of that story, in which the Indians struggle to understand what is happening, and in which the law struggles to assert itself. The length of the film is partly explained by director Martin Scorsese's desire to best convey this grim story, in which it is no coincidence that the scenes are often poorly lit. Could a film like this have been made, but shorter and less "heavy"? Perhaps yes, but it must be recognized that it was done this way to highlight and underline as much as possible the part of the story in which obvious crimes were committed, at the cost of reducing towards the end everything that subsequently emerged from it. An impressive film therefore, which makes us think about how the multifaceted American culture was formed and, in this process, the dominant culture established itself. Read all
