Martin Scorsese says Killers of the Flower Moon's pacing takes cues from Ari Aster's films.
Martin Scorsese's latest film, Killers of the Flower Moon opens in theaters on Friday and the massive film — which has a three hour and twenty-six-minute runtime — may be based on David Grann's nonfiction book Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI, it turns out that aspects of the film take their inspiration from what might be a surprising source: Ari Aster's Midsommar.
He continued,"I was very concerned about allowing scenes that were not narrative into the story, scenes to do with the Osage culture — leaving in those scenes of custom, like the baby namings, the funerals and the weddings — so we could begin to understand a little more about the people. I felt confident that a lot of people would allow themselves to immerse in the world of film. One has to take these chances.
"I did visit the set for a few days," Grann said in a recent interview with Vanity Fair. "And I was, again, just really impressed by how they managed to bring these historical figures to life and capture the hidden truths about the story. Leo just seemed to just be able to capture the nature of Ernest Burkhart, and the level of complicity of his character, and this evil system.
