“Masterpiece”: DiCaprio has seen Scorsese’s next film and he is excited!

Every new Martin Scorsese movie creates a stir, and this one will be no exception. Like all its predecessors, Killers of the Flower Moon is one of the most anticipated films of the year.

But while waiting for the film to be discovered on Apple TV +, some people had the chance to see it in the first exclusivity. Namely, Leonardo DiCaprio. At least that’s what Jacqueline West, a film costume designer, said at a master class at the Doha Film Institute. Deadline.

Feature film department heads tend to stick tight to productions they work on until their world premiere out of respect for the directors, not to mention confidentiality agreements. But Jacqueline West couldn’t help but be convinced by Martin Scorsese’s next film.

He revealed that the film’s star, Leonardo DiCaprio, had seen it and told him it was a masterpiece:

“I talked to Leo about it. Before I came here, we had lunch together. He was like, “Jack, I think we’ve been working on a masterpiece. For Leo to say that, it must be something. He does not say this lightly. He has been doing business since childhood“

Indeed, Jacqueline West has been close to Leonardo DiCaprio since they worked together on The Revenant. Something to make strong connections with!

Rumors of a possible Cannes submission of Killers of the Flower Moon in the official competition have been circulating for several weeks now. We’ll have to wait another month to find out for sure. But Jacqueline West doesn’t know if “Marty submitted the film to the festival“.

Adapted from David Grann’s best-selling book and financed by Apple to the tune of $200 million, Killers of the Flower Moon describes the serial killings of members of the Osage Indian tribe who settled in oil-rich lands in 1920s Oklahoma.
