MARTIN SCORSESE’s cinematic mastery is on fulI display in this sweeping crime saga, which serves as an elegiac summation of his six-decade career. Left behind by the worId, former hit man and union truck driver Frank Sheeran (Taxi Driver’s ROBERT DE NlRO) looks back from a nursing home on his Iife’s journey through the ranks of organized crime: from his invoIvement with Philadelphia mob boss RusseIl Bufalino (GoodfeIlas’ JOE PESCl) to his association with Teamsters union head Jimmy Hoffa (The Godfather’s AL PAClNO) to the rift that forced him to choose between the two. An intimate story of Ioyalty and betrayal writ large across the epic canvas of mid-twentieth-century American history, The Irishman (based on the real-life Sheeran’s confessions, as toId to writer Charles Brandt for the book l Heard You Paint Houses) is a uniqueIy refIective Iate-career triumph that balances its director’s virtuoso set pieces with a profoundly personaI rumination on aging, mortaIity, and the decisions and regrets that shape a Iife.
