The Irishman von Martin Scorsese wurde jüngst beim New York Film Festival uraufgeführt. Da auch die Presse anwesend war, gibt es nun die ersten Meinungen zum Gangsterfilm und die sich bislang durchaus positiv. Vor allem Al Pacino erhielt viel Lob für seine Performance. Er spielt den Gewerkschaftsführer Jimmy Hoffa. Unten haben wir euch einige Meinungs-Tweets eingefügt.
Der Film basiert aufCharles BrandtsI Heard You Paint Houses, welcher die auf wahren Begebenheiten beruhende Geschichte des Hitman Frank Sheeran erzählt, der den bis heute ungelösten Mord an Jimmy Hoffa ausgeübt haben soll. Wie der Teaser bereits zum Ausdruck bringt, bekommen wir es bei The Irishman mit einem echten Scorsese-Konzentrat zu tun. Freundschaft, Loyalität, Gewalt, die Unmöglichkeit von Erlösung.
#TheIrishman was well worth the red eye flight and well worth every single minute of that 3 and a half hour run time. More to come in a review on @ColliderVideo later but that lead trio is just as good as you’d hope & it marks another triumph for Thelma Schoonmaker. #NYFF
Boy. #TheIrishman is a fitting homecoming for De Niro, Pacino, Pesci, and Scorsese’s ode to gangster cinema. Hilarious and sharply written. A portrait of mortality and legacy, told like a culmination of everything we have ever seen in this genre. It’s LONG but never boring. #NYFFpic.twitter.com/OBTAXem4On
THE IRISHMAN is not GOODFELLAS/CASINO part 3. Different pace different tone. It is, however, absolutely fucking fantastic and I am floored. All hail the King.
THE IRISHMAN is a masterwork. Funny, epic, and most of all, melancholy. It’s Scorsese confronting aging, legacies, and mortality. I may or may not have teared up at the end...
THE IRISHMAN - Audacious, epic, a film that feels like it spans lifetimes yet whisks by. Technically bold, performances raw and darkly humourous, it is the culmination of Scorsese's genre fascinations, and a late career triumph. Truly cinematic, demanding to be seen big #nyff57
THE IRISHMAN is good! takes 90 minutes to lock in & clear out the cobwebs / adjust to CGI, but the scope is a virtue, the performances are killer (Joseph! Frank! Pesci!) & it eventually coheres into a heart-stopping meditation on the myopia of time. an old man movie for the ages.
