Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone star in Martin Scorsese's ambitious adaptation of David Grann's book about marriage and murder in 1920s Osage country.
Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” begins in the heavily shrouded darkness of an Osage tribal ceremony, a somber occasion that marks the passing of a much-cherished way of life. White American settlers have driven the Osage from Kansas into what is now northeastern Oklahoma, an act of displacement that they commemorate by burying a peace pipe.
Most of these Osage deaths, we’re told, were never investigated, suggesting breathtaking levels of official corruption at a time of already rampant lawlessness. But the big picture is always distressingly clear: White people are killing Indigenous people for their 'headrights,' their legal claims to this oil-rich land, and they are doing so with strategic patience, chilling ruthlessness and utter impunity.
