Scorsese took the stage and spoke to the audience after the screening.
“It`s taken its time to come around, but Apple did so great by us, shooting out there … there was lots of grass — I`m a New Yorker, he said. “We also lived in that world with the Osage, we really did, and we really miss it.”
Scorsese also thanks the Cannes crowd, calling the screening a moving experience. “I don`t think I`ve ever experienced like this,” he said, as per Deadline.
The film is all set to hit the theatres on October 6.
Based on a true story and told through the romance between Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone), `Killers of the Flower Moon` is an epic Western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal, reported Deadline.
