Martin Scorsese on Working With Robbie Robertson on ‘Flower Moon’ Music as the Culmination of a 47-Year Friendship: ‘I Just Miss Robbie. Period’
Martin Scorsese tells how he and Robbie Robertson found a musical approach for 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' and explores their 47-year collaboration.
The director’s epic Western crime drama chronicling the true story of the reign of terror waged against the Osage Nation in 1920s Oklahoma starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert DeNiro and Lily Gladstone was released onto Apple TV+ this past weekend, just in time for the Jan. 16 close of 2024’s Oscar nominations voting. From “Raging Bull” forward, Robertson took on the role of Scorsese’s filmic curator as music supervisor (e.g. “Shutter Island,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Silence”), as producer and songwriter (as on “The King of Comedy” track “Between Trains,” or with “The Color of Money” featuring Roberston’s score and his co-write on Eric Clapton’s “It’s in the Way That You Use It”) and composer (on “The Irishman” as well as their final project).
