Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic A movie’s central character needn’t be someone we admire, but he should probably be someone we’re drawn to, someone we vibe with in sympathetic fascination, who we feel we know and understand even as he crosses over to the dark side. Few movies have lived out that dynamic more cathartically than the underworld dramas of Martin Scorsese.

Addie Morfoot Contributor Sin, forgiveness, the glamour of evil, Barbara Stanwyck, Marlon Brando, terrible preview screenings for “Goodfellas,” Robert De Niro‘s silence and, of course, “Killers of the Flower Moon” were all topics of conversation during Montclair Film Festival’s Filmmaker Tribute to Martin Scorsese on October 27 at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor SPOILER ALERT: This article has minor spoilers for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” now playing in theaters. There is a scene near the beginning of Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” that shows crude oil spurting out from the ground — “black gold.” It’s a joyful moment for the Osage tribes. “Scorsese kept talking about oil gushing up in the air,” cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto tells Variety. “When you find oil, it bubbles under the surface, but he wanted to do something surreal and joyful, which contrasts with what that black gold brought them.” So, the shot required an oil pump as well as a derrick oil rig.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic When I spoke with Robbie Robertson over the phone in the last week of July, it was at what everyone might have expected would be the beginning of a great victory lap for the musician. His work with the Band in the late ‘60s through mid-‘70s had been properly commemorated, through a memoir and documentary that covered those crucial years.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Martin Scorsese’s $200 million epic “Killers of the Flower Moon,” based on David Grann’s 2017 non-fiction book, centers on the Reign of Terror, a term the Osage Nation used to define the murders of at least 60 community members in the late 1920s. The film tells this true crime tale through the lens of a marriage between Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio), a World War I veteran who relocates to Oklahoma to work with his rancher uncle, and Mollie Burkhart (Lily Gladstone), a local Osage woman whose family was one of the community’s wealthiest. Robert De Niro stars as Ernest’s uncle, William Hale.
