Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro star in the director’s dirge-like 1920s-set film about the murders of Native Americans in Osage territory after the discovery of oil.
Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud. Robbie Robertson’s musical score backing “Killers of the Flower Moon” relies heavily on a low, endlessly repeated guitar or bass note that mirrors the soul-deadening events on screen. We’re in 1920s Osage territory in Oklahoma, where after an oil discovery the Native Americans are being systematically swindled, robbed and murdered by white people.
Mr. Scorsese seemingly turned away from the Hollywood system to the streamers in part because he wanted to make sprawling dramas that any legacy studio would correctly have told him needed to be cut down to size. Based on the book by David Grann, “Flower Moon” is a drudge and a dirge that runs longer than “Titanic,” nearly 3 1/2 hours.This copy is for your personal, non-commercial use only.
