Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino & Joe Pesci on The Irishman | NYFF57

Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, and producers Emma Tillinger Koskoff and Jane Rosenthal talk The Irishman, the opening film of the 57th New York Film Festival. They discuss pulling off the decades-spanning production, getting the momentous cast together, finding the film's emotional center in the adaptation process, the testing process of the digital effects, and much more.
57th New York Film Festival is presented by Film at Lincoln Center from Friday, September 27 - Sunday, October 13. See ticket info, the schedule, and more: filmlinc.org/nyff
The Irishman is a richly textured epic of American crime, a dense, complex story told with astonishing fluidity. Based on Charles Brandt’s nonfiction book I Heard You Paint Houses, it is a film about friendship and loyalty between men who commit unspeakable acts and turn on a dime against each other, and the possibility of redemption in a world where it seems as distant as the moon. The roster of talent behind and in front of the camera is astonishing, and at the core of The Irishman are four great artists collectively hitting a new peak: Joe Pesci as Pennsylvania mob boss Russell Bufalino, Al Pacino as Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa, and Robert De Niro as their right-hand man, Frank Sheeran, each working in the closest harmony imaginable with the film’s incomparable creator, Martin Scorsese. A Netflix release. Presented by Campari.
A centerpiece of New York culture since 1963, the New York Film Festival will introduce the most essential new cinematic works from around the world to U.S. audiences in its Main Slate. NYFF will also continue to feature a variety of titles in different sections and sidebars, including Spotlight on Documentary, newly rejuvenated classics in Restorations and Revivals, a diverse selection of international and locally made Shorts, the ever-expanding experimental showcase Projections, and the immersive storytelling experiences of the cutting-edge Convergence. Additionally, there will be an exciting lineup of special events, free filmmaker talks and panel discussions, and the latest editions of our annual Industry and Critic Academies.

We live in strange times when Martin Scorsese can't get backing, let alone with Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci in the film.

[@jack.p]

It’s sad but completely believable. Unless it’s a superhero film, a franchise sequel, or a superhero sequel, it won’t get made nowadays. If you go and watch Goodfellas today you can easily see how that would never get made anymore.

[@lfilikozis]

@@Nothing-qq4hd It's not straightly the internet. The issue is that, today, worldwide, cinemas make the most money out of teenagers and generally very young people. That's why this superhero shit is so popular with the producers. It's what sells to the young half-brainless "movie consumers". So why make an interesting movie when you can just make some great-selling crap? It's all about the money, anyway...

[@gordonowens7794]

@@lfilikozis I see your point I think the movies of the 70's were made for an adult audience (French Connection, Bullet, Klute, The Conversation etc.), first the horror genre changed from psychological (Psycho) to slasher movies (Friday the 13th and Holloween etc.) for younger audiences and finally the industry became more youth oriented. It used to be art propelled the interest in a movie now it's just about money.

[@yallowrosa]

yes, he hasn't recovered yet

[@susanlopez3676]

I disagree entirely. Pesci's voice may be the same and the fact that he plays an Italian associated with the American Mafia but after that, the character is entirely different. His energy is different, he's a Mafia boss and more centered and in control with authority. He's more vulnerable and open than in any of his previous work. As he switches from younger to older he becomes more introspective--something he never did in previous work. This character is multi-dimensional rather than a one dimensional as in the comedy roles he's played (BTW-he's done many more comedies than dramas.) To say he's "not acting" when he plays gangsters or the brother in Raging Bull is a testament to his talent. Take a look at interviews with Pesci and you'll see that he is nothing like the characters he plays. One needn't put on an accent or wear fake noses to make a dramatic stretch.

@@pradeep_sekar you're underestimating Scorsese mate, he can do it but why would he want to make a mediocre blockbuster when he can go and make a masterpiece with this incredible cast of actors.

[@MrJames-tw3so]

Ya netflix is really doing amazing things.

[@JWell-nk3nz]

I wouldn't wonder if Marty would do his next film with them too. Killer of the flower moon with DiCaprio and de Niro. Things have changed I don't know if it's such a bad thing that the movies are running 2-3 weeks in the cinema and then on Netflix I think for both sides it's not a bad deal. The big studios like paramount which Marty worked very often, Warner Bros, Universal and so are afraid to do creative movies like Marty does, they afraid of losing money and are just comfortable with big blockbuster movies like the comic films and action blockbusters, and Netflix should be interested to create even more content what they never have to share with other streaming sites. So like it seems that the Irishman will be very successful, we have to wait tho if that's the case, then if I would be Marty and Netflix I would arrange to stay together for his next films. They give him freedom and the money because they have to to secure good content.

[@julienperonne2347]

How about stopping this narrative where Netflix is the auteur-driven Eden and Hollywood studios the cesspool of mediocrity where they can't work anymore ? I love Netflix projects, and Netflix films, I loved Roma and Okja, and a lot of their shows as well, BUT, lack of support for auteurs was never a problem here, and we have to stop entertaining this ridiculous idea. The Irishman was first backed by Hollywood studios, i.e. Paramount, via a Mexican financier. The problem is that Scorsese never properly budgeted his film in terms of money and shooting time, and the production ballooned into something that it was not supposed to be at first, because Scorsese decided mid-production to de-age the actors digitally. Hollywood never had any problem backing big-name directors. Studio execs generally think that big names will, best-case scenario, generate good reviews and good money, and worst case scenario, generate well-received films which, providing that it is an otherwise financially satisfying year for the studio, will at least improve the studio's image. That's why directors like Ridley Scott or Clint Eastwood, or Villeneuve get work even if their films are not always smash hits. Blade Runner 2049 was maybe a sequel, but it was a 160 minutes long sequel to a film that was a cult classic the original release of which was a failure, and Villeneuve was given 180 M dollars and total leeway and creative control for a film that had no chance of being an actual hit. And studios did it because the film had been properly budgeted and shot within well-established and respected timelines, and did not disturb the studio's schedule. Same for Alien Covenant, or Logan, etc etc. Now, credit where credit's due. Netflix should get credit for marketing discrete projects like Roma, which in terms of scale and size are mostly indie projects craving for attention on release, and maybe occasionally, traditional Hollywood doesn't allow that for projets who are not American-centric. But as far as big-budgeted filmmaking and producing goes, we have to stop idealizing our auteurs and demonizing studios. I love Scorsese, he's one my favorite directors of all time, and I hope the Irishman is great, but you see with people like Villeneuve or Nolan, or Ridley Scott that a lot of studios (not all) will back any director with any amount of money if they just comply to some basic rules of production. Scorsese did not do that, clearly. There is a difference between asking for proper creative control, which any director should be entitled to do, and asking for carte blanche.
