The Irishman closes perfectly the circle formed by Scorsese's gangster movies

Rating: 9/10 (13 December 2019)

Apart from the extraordinary cast and the digital rejuvenation of the actors (surprisingly well done), the movie is a masterpiece also in terms of storyline, screenplay, photography and cinematography (but it is expectable by the time we are talking about a master director of movies centered on mafia businesses) and it is worth the 5 years of production and the 3. 30 hours of lengthy. It is absolutely not boring, the viewer can't loose concentration because the movie is a continuum of flashbacks but its general structure allows us to follow it pretty well. Of course before watching you'd better have an historical background to apprciate the film at its top. Anyway it's a movie that needs to be rewatched more than once. We can definitely say that the movie develops along the lines of "Goodfellas".
