Martin Scorsese reveals 5 films that inspired ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’

Martin Scorsese joined the Letterboxd! He created a list of 59 films that inspired his own feature films. “I love the idea of ​​putting different films together. I grew up watching two films for the price of one, programs at repertory houses, avant-garde film nights at showcase cinemas,” he said in the Companion Films listing description.

“You always learn something, see something in a different light, because every film talks to every other film. The bigger the difference between them, the better,” he added.

Over the years, I’ve been asked to combine my own films with other people’s older films that served as inspiration. The request came from film festivals, which present these combinations as a program. The terms ‘inspiration’ and ‘influence’ are not entirely accurate. Sometimes the relationship is based on inspiration. Sometimes it’s the relationship between the characters. Sometimes it’s the spirit of the film. Sometimes it’s much more mysterious than that.
