After a career of more than 50 years and at the age of 80, Scorsese’s latest film is an epic drama about murder and moral guilt.

More of a western than a gangster film, it has many Scorsese characteristics including morally ambiguous male leads. Based on David Grann’s book of the same title, the film tells the true story of a dark and shocking chapter of American history – the Osage Indian murders in the 1920s – that came to be known as the Reign of Terror.

Grann meticulously investigated the systematic killings and the birth of the FBI, exposing a web of greed, corruption and injustice. Scorsese gives a compelling exploration of a forgotten tragedy, both a historical exposé and a haunting reminder of a devastating part of American history. It echoes his earlier work about mob violence, mob loyalty and the part played by federal authorities in a story about land- grabbing, resources and power.

Although Robert De Niro has appeared in ten Scorsese films and Leonardo DiCaprio in six, this is the first time they have appeared together for him. Here De Niro plays a corrupt, violent politician and DiCaprio his submissive nephew. There is also a brief cameo from Scorsese himself.

Screened with an interval, during which tea, coffee and cakes will be served (free of charge).
