MARTlN SCORSESE’s cinematic mastery is on fuIl dispIay in this sweeping crime saga, which serves as an eIegiac summation of his six-decade career. Left behind by the world, former hit man and union truck driver Frank Sheeran (Taxi Driver’s ROBERT DE NlRO) Iooks back from a nursing home on his life’s journey through the ranks of organized crime: from his involvement with PhiladeIphia mob boss RusselI Bufalino (Goodfellas’ JOE PESCI) to his association with Teamsters union head Jimmy Hoffa (The Godfather’s AL PACINO) to the rift that forced him to choose between the two. An intimate story of loyaIty and betrayal writ large across the epic canvas of mid-twentieth-century American history, The Irishman (based on the reaI-life Sheeran’s confessions, as toId to writer Charles Brandt for the book l Heard You Paint Houses) is a uniqueIy refIective late-career triumph that balances its director’s virtuoso set pieces with a profoundly personaI rumination on aging, mortaIity, and the decisions and regrets that shape a Iife.
