Well, hello there, kind folks. If you’re visiting this blog of mine, I presume that you have a certain interest in the cinema. As for me, even since my early childhood, I have had a deep love of everything related to movies and television. As far as I can remember, I have been more at ease in front of a screen than in the yard, outside, playing. It is a great way to travel, though other people’s stories, without having to foot any kind of steep bill. Over the years, I feel that movie-watching has even fuelled my own creativity.

All that being said, I welcome you in my Cinephile’s Nest. I hope you enjoy it here, feel free to come back at any time. Here you will find reviews of current movies and older ones. TV shows also. Some classics that have remained some of my favourites, some that have disappointed me. I will use a very basic star (*) system to grade them from 1 to 5 (5 being sliced bread level). Remember, these are just my tastes. I will try to explain in each review what I liked about these particular movies, without giving spoilers.

Il y aura aussi des critiques en français pour les films francophones, car j'aime également le cinéma dans ma langue maternelle. Avant d'apprendre l'anglais, plus jeune, je louais des tonnes de films traduits en français, surtout ceux de Bud Spencer et Terrence Hill. Ma mère a eu le choc de sa vie lorsqu'un jour, dans la boîte d'un de ces films, Deep Throat avait malencontreusement inséré. Une expérience formatrice pour le jeune cinéphile que je suis.

Bienvenue à tous, amusez-vous bien.

I welcome you all here, enjoy yourself.

Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)

Genre: Drama / Western
Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Lily Gladstone
Time: 206 minutes

 


Members of the Osage Nation, in the Oklahoma of the 1920’s, are getting killed one after the other for the money they got when oil was found on their tribal land. Among the white people targeting them are William King Hale, a man pretending to be a benefactor for the Osage people, and his nephew Ernest Burkhart, who married a native woman called Mollie to then target her and her family.

This is a true epic masterpiece given to us by Martin Scorsese. It is great to see this great director still at it at his age. The cinematography was just magnificent. You can see that Scorsese was passionate about telling this story, and he did it with all the respect and reverence in the world.

The cast was brilliant. De Niro and DiCaprio were both solid, and so was Lily Gladstone. Overall, I loved this film and I intend on seeing it again.
