Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon unveils gripping trailer
Explained | Osage Indian Murders that inspired Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon
Apart from the fascinating and tragic true tale that it tells, the film, thanks to Scorsese's signature style, looks absolutely worth waiting for. The trailer begins with visuals of Osage men dancing and celebrating the discovery of vast oil reserves on their barren land. The discovery, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, turned them ultra-rich almost overnight. However, it also paved the way for the tragic incidents of murder and disappearances that are central to the story.
One by one, Osage men and women were found murdered, their deaths shrouded in mystery. The community became gripped by terror as loved ones vanished and the culprits remained elusive.
The synopsis of the movie reads, "In the 1920s, members of the Osage Native American tribe of Osage County, Oklahoma, are murdered after oil is found on their land, and the FBI decides to investigate."
After its Cannes premiere on May 20, Killers of the Flower Moon will release in select cinemas on October 6. It will then get a wider release on October 20. At one point, it will also be available for streaming on Apple TV+.
