Well, consider me shocked.
Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” is NOT 3 hours 20 minutes. It’s also NOT 3 hours 45 Minutes …
No, it’s 234 minutes! That’s 3 hours 54 minutes.
That’s pretty close to what Fremaux hinted at, that it’s just a few minutes shy of Sergio Leone’s “Once Upon A Time in America,” which ran for over 4 hours.
I’m guessing that when ‘Killers’ screens at Cannes it’ll be a day almost solely dedicated to Scorsese’s epic, you won’t have too many other films from the official selection screening that day.
If people were complaining about the duration of “The Irishman” then watch out … His last three films were all epic in length: “Silence” (161 minutes), “The Wolf of Wall Street” (180 minutes) and “The Irishman” (210 minutes). Scorsese’s taking it to a whole other level with this one.
Of course, I’m not bothered. Length is second fiddle to quality. As Roger Ebert once said “No good movie is too long, and no bad movie is short enough.”
Other lengthy Cannes runtimes this year include Steve McQueen’s “Occupied City” (240 minutes), Wang Bing’s “Youth” (210 minutes), Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s “About Dry Grasses” (197 minutes), Justin Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall” (150 minutes), and ‘Indy 5’ (142 minutes).
