Martin Scorsese and Rodrigo Prieto are still figuring out how everything came together for Killers of the Flower Moon. This much was clear to David Canfield when he sat with the longtime collaborators for an in-depth conversation about a handful of crucial, striking images from their film, each captured with an extraordinary level of both meticulous planning and spontaneous invention. Take, for instance, what Scorsese has to say about the centerpiece moment when Robert De Niro’s William Hale burns the land around his farm to collect insurance money: “I first saw this at night being driven back from a location back to our house we’re staying in. I saw these fields being burned, which is apparently a common thing that happens at a certain time of year. I was in this SUV and I’m a New Yorker; I never saw anything quite like it. It felt to me we were on another planet.”
Elsewhere in HWD, Emerald Fennell breaks down a scene from Saltburn; The Crown director Christian Schwochowopens up about ghost Diana; May December star Charles Melton visits Little Gold Men; and David Letterman comes home.
