"Scorsese's 'Killers of the Flower Moon' Earns Oscar Buzz and Trust of Osage Nation"

Martin Scorsese's upcoming film, "Killers of the Flower Moon," based on the nonfiction book by David Grann, explores new territory for the director as his first Western and a film that foregrounds the lives of nonwhite characters, particularly the Osage woman Mollie Burkhart. Set in the 1920s, the movie delves into a series of brutal murders in oil-rich Oklahoma territory controlled by white businessmen, lawmen, and con artists. With stunning cinematography, intricate production design, and powerful performances by Lily Gladstone and Leonardo DiCaprio, Scorsese delivers an enveloping and overpowering experience that challenges our understanding of art and the moral responsibility of storytelling.
