Scorsese's Swan Song

Rating: 9/10 (10 December 2019)

Scorsese's latest artistic attempt to create the world of mobster mafia, with all it's familiar motifs, here surprisingly transferred into a geriatric phase with more melancholic than violent consequences.
I enjoyed very much to see all of his protagonists working together again, and Al Pacino joining this famous team of actors. They're still giving powerhouse performances, led by De Niro, portraying a character under growing pressure, torn between loyalty and betrayal, and true friendship doesn't mean anything.
But does it have to last for almost three and a half hours?
I appreciated Scorseses uncompromising vision, but I can understand that for some people it's an excessive demand on their patience.
I was a bit unsatisfied with the CGI make up results, sometimes they looked convincing, but sometimes not. But nevertheless another masterpiece by Scorsese! He's still one of the best!
