Entertainment
The Irishman: Scorsese Contemplates a
Life of Crime in Decades’ Time
By Morgan Rojas for cinemacy.com
At 3 hours and 29 minutes long, with an
estimated $159 million budget, and boasting a
legendary cast led by one of the greatest living
directors of all time, the epic nature of Martin
Scorsese’s latest film, The Irishman, is nearly
unfathomable. Quite literally, it’s a film with
the scope and ambition of being a masterpiece.
Scorsese’s mob saga is a tour-de-force that
leaps through decades to tell a story that is
cinematically brilliant and, surprisingly, one
of his most emotionally introspective films.
The Irishman, inspired by true events, is
told through the point of view of the film’s
protagonist, Frank Sheeran (Robert De Niro).
Confined to a nursing home and facing his
mortality, Frank begins to recount his life’s
story, which Scorsese shows through an
expertly intercut series of flashbacks. Starting
with Frank’s earliest days, we see him driving
trucks as a typical blue-collar worker. After
unexpectedly linking up with crime lord Russell
Bufalino (Joe Pesci) and delivering on personal
“jobs” for the mobster, Frank finds himself in
his inner circle, quickly climbing the ranks
from family man to hitman.
Loyalty and discretion – the traits Bufalino
admires so dearly in Frank – are also precisely the
traits that union boss Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino),
President of the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, is looking for in a right-hand man.
The hot-tempered and theatrical Hoffa and
the cool and collected Frank are on opposite
sides of the “composure” spectrum, yet they
take to each other instantly and build trust as
the years go by. However, good times in the
world of organized crime don’t last long, and
the organization’s corrupt inner workings, shady
political connections and dangerous rivalries
continue to keep Frank and Hoffa on edge, all
leading to the infamously unsolved mystery of
Hoffa’s disappearance.
While the film evokes all of the incredible
period-piece imagery and superb direction that
audiences have come to love and expect from
Scorsese, The Irishman is also surprisingly
introspective, as he examines death and
isolation in a closer way than ever before. Of
course, plenty of humor is incorporated into
the script – which is fantastically acted through
further performances by Harvey Keitel and Ray
Romano – but it’s the film’s quieter moments
that make it so unique. De Niro’s performance
– or performances, plural, as he plays Frank
through many years of his life with the help
of CGI facial mapping – is sublime.
For Netflix, The Irishman is last year’s Roma:
a big-budget picture helmed by one of the most
respected artists of our time, and at the moment
an obvious frontrunner for nominations across
the board come awards season. If you’re able
to see The Irishman in theaters this weekend,
I highly recommend it. On the big screen, it’s
much easier to immerse yourself into the film
for its entire duration (I fear an at-home Netflix
watch, which will be available Nov. 27, will
lead many to pause the film and interrupt the
experience). But either way, Scorsese’s latest
is undoubtedly among his best and deserves
to be seen in any way possible. •
