Killers of the Flower Moon & Anatomy of a Fall

At The Movies with Marie & Mike

As HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano talk about Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon" in this podcast episode, they assure you they won't go on quite as long as the film's 3-hour, 26-minute running time. Although Marie thinks the film is too long and Mike is fine with the running time, they mostly agree that it is a compelling drama derived from David Grann's nonfiction book about a series of suspicious deaths on an Indian reservation in Oklahoma in the 1920s. Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio give reliably strong performances, and Lily Gladstone deserves an Academy Award nomination as Best Actress for her remarkable performance as one of the Indian women. Marie and Mike also discuss "Anatomy of a Fall," an intriguing whodunit set in the French Alps. They try their best to avoid any spoilers while talking about it.
