Director Martin Scorsese in an interview deadline He stated that he did not make big plans in the cinema due to his age.
“When George Lucas and Steven Spielberg presented him with an Oscar, Kurosawa said, ‘I’m only starting to see the potential of cinema now, but it’s too late now.’ He was 83 at the time and I only understand the meaning of that sentence now,” Scorsese said.
According to the 80-year-old cinematographer, the situation might have been different had the production of the film taken a few months. Scorsese noted that he still loves to read and wants to tell stories, but believes the director has little time left.
Previously Scorsese’s new film “Killers of the Flower Moon” premiered at the 76th Cannes Film Festival. The plot is based on journalist David Grann’s book of the same name, set in 1920s Oklahoma – someone starts killing Native Americans from the settlement where an oil field is discovered, and the FBI takes over the investigation. The film stars Brendan Fraser and Jesse Plemons, along with DiCaprio, De Niro, and Gladstone.
