We have a real conversation about Martin Scorsese's highly anticipated 2023 film, Killers of the Flower Moon, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, Robert De Niro and Jesse Plemons. We discuss the film's narrative depiction of a highly charged historical moment in American history, recalling details and images of scenes from the movie that left a lasting impression on us. We also consider the "love story" that is the underlying beat of the movie, reproaching Marty for his classic sleight of hand of subverting viewer expectations with the slow evolution of his morally grey and corrupt characters.
