Scorsese, known for his mastery of the craft, has not only directed the film but also co-written the screenplay alongside Eric Roth.
“Killers of the Flower Moon” delves into a captivating true story set in 1920s Oklahoma. The narrative revolves around the Osage Indian Nation, which becomes the richest people per capita in the world due to the discovery of oil on their land.

Their previous collaborations with Scorsese, such as “Gangs of New York” and “The Departed,” have garnered critical acclaim and multiple awards, further heightening expectations for “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
Adding to the film’s allure is the inclusion of Lily Gladstone and Jesse Plemons in supporting roles. Both actors have consistently delivered impressive performances in a range of projects, showcasing their versatility and talent. Gladstone’s breakthrough role in “Certain Women” and Plemons’ notable performances in “Black Mirror” and “Fargo” have earned them praise from audiences and critics alike.
Scorsese’s meticulous attention to detail and his ability to transport audiences to a specific time and place are evident in the film’s production design and cinematography. By authentically recreating the 1920s Oklahoma setting, the audience is immersed in the tension and turmoil faced by the Osage community during that era. The combination of Scorsese’s masterful direction and the stellar performances of the cast is expected to result in a gripping and unforgettable cinematic experience.
