Robbie Robertson: "Killers Of The Flower Moon" Soundtrack


Just released and it is quite stunning.

Robbie's last work, right before he passed away.

Highly recommended!

From the beginning, Scorsese found a way to bring extremely high levels of craftsmanship combined with originality, uncompromising moral/artistic integrity, and deep curiosity about human nature/society to the masses with his films, has never changed, and is still creating masterpieces in his 70s (Killers of the Flower Moon he made when he was in his 80s - he turned 81 today…Happy Birthday, Marty! - The Wolf of Wall StreetThe 50 Year ArgumentSilenceRolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin ScorseseThe Irishman, and Personality Crisis: One Night Only he all made in his 70s).  
He’s still going, as sharp as ever.  
I think these last 3 films, SilenceThe Irishman and Killers of the Flower Moon will only grow in stature over the years.  
These recent films have a real sophistication, depth and maturity to them, the kind of artistic plane an artist gets to after spending over half a century obsessively honing their craft.

I can make a somewhat analogous contemporary comparison to Dylan, who has not matched Scorsese’s maintenance of artistic quality and prolificness in these golden years, but nevertheless made “Murder Most Foul” (something I consider to be among the best things he’s ever done) at 78.

We’re lucky to have had people like this making their art in our lifetime the past half century.


 

Can’t wait to see this film.  
I’m so grateful that we are still able to go to a theater and see Scorsese/De Niro/Leo on the big screen with a big budget.  
Marty’s old friend Robby providing the score one last time adds another layer.  
His down-and-dirty, acoustic music is likely an ideal compliment to the film.  
Again, can’t wait to see/hear it!
