Martin Scorsese / Robert de Niro, it’s 50 years of friendship and collaboration, 10 feature films, many masterpieces… and a few false connections, all the same.
Johnny Boy in Mean Streets, Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver, Jimmy Doyle in New York New York, Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull, Rupert Pupkin in La Valse des Pantins, “Jimmy” Conway in Goodfellas, Max Cady in Les Nerfs à Fif, Sam “Ace” Rothstein in Casino, Frank Sheeran in The Irishman, William King Hale in Killers of the Flower Moon: in ten roles and fifty years of collaboration (and friendship), the Martin Scorsese / Robert De Niro tandem will have definitely left its mark Hollywood history.
In Killers of the Flower Moonin theaters this week, the filmmaker brings together his two favorite actors – Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro– for the very first time (as well as the revelation Lily Gladstone, who “steals the show”). However, this is the third collaboration between the two men, after Secret Blessings (1993) and Simple Secrets (1996). And even the fourth if we count the short advertising film The Audition, shot in 2015 by… Martin Scorsese (with Brad Pitt as guest star).
De Niro / Scorsese, DiCaprio / Scorsese, DiCaprio / De Niro: all three combinations are undoubtedly memorable. But that would be forgetting another tandem that is now inseparable: Michel & Michel! AlloCiné’s technical specialists, who have been working on Faux Raccord since 2010, are analyzing this week the most notable gaffes and errors in the feature films labeled “Marty & Bobby”.
