Perspective Shift - Movie - Killers of the Flower Moon

Killers of the Flower Moon

The film was released in German cinemas in October 2023.

Director Martin Scorsese:

Killers of the Flower Moon was a series of murders of Osage men and women to bilk them after the discovery of oil on their land. ... I was drawn to the idea to tell this terribly tragic story that was never brought to national attention. ... I wanted to do justice to the Osage so the audience feels the immensity of the tragedy.

Leonardo DiCaprio:

Marty was obsessed with telling this story with the most honesty that he possibly could.

Osage News on “Killers of the Flower Moon”:

The film, written for the screen by Eric Roth and Scorsese, is based on David Grann’s best-selling book of the same name, “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Set in 1920s Oklahoma, the film depicts the serial murder of members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation, a string of brutal crimes that came to be known as the Reign of Terror.

Gladstone, the actress who portrays Mollie Burkhart, said at the Sundance Film Festival in January that Scorsese and DiCaprio listened to the Osage community, which ultimately changed the direction of the film.
