Description
Killers Of The Flower Moon is the 2023 American epic Western crime drama film directed and produced by Martin Scorsese. The story is based on the 2017 book of the same name by David Grann and centers on a series of Oklahoma murders in the Osage Nation during the 1920s, committed after oil was discovered on tribal land. The film stars an impressive cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone, with Jesse Plemons, Tantoo Cardinal, John Lithgow, and Brendan Fraser in supporting roles. The film features a score by Scorseses longtime collaborator Robbie Robertson, who formed a lifelong friendship right after Robertons breakup with The Band. The two worked together on The Last Waltz 1978, Raging Bull 1980, Casino 1995, Gangs Of New York 2002, The Wolf On Wall Street 2013, and The Irishman 2019 amongst others. Critics have described the original soundtrack for Killers Of The Flower Moon as old timey, bluesey, and percussive. Due to his passing in August 2023, this is the last completed film score Robertsons created. Killers Of The Flower Moon is housed in a gatefold sleeve.
