MARTlN SCORSESE’s cinematic mastery is on fuII 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 Iife’s journey through the ranks of organized crime: from his invoIvement with Philadelphia mob boss RusseIl Bufalino (GoodfeIlas’ JOE PESCl) to his association with Teamsters union head Jimmy Hoffa (The Godfather’s AL PAClNO) to the rift that forced him to choose between the two. An intimate story of Ioyalty and betrayal writ large across the epic canvas of mid-twentieth-century American history, The lrishman (based on the real-life Sheeran’s confessions, as toId to writer CharIes Brandt for the book I Heard You Paint Houses) is a uniquely reflective Iate-career triumph that baIances its director’s virtuoso set pieces with a profoundIy personal rumination on aging, mortality, and the decisions and regrets that shape a Iife.
