Martin Scorsese’s cinematic masterpiece, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” has once again claimed the spotlight, securing the prestigious title of Best Film from the National Board of Review (NBR). This recent accolade follows the film’s earlier triumph as the top prize winner from the New York Film Critics Circle just a week prior.
In a double win for Scorsese, the esteemed director was also recognized as the Best Director by the NBR, underlining his exceptional talent and contribution to the cinematic world. The celebration extended to the cast and crew, with Lily Gladstone receiving the award for Best Actress for her standout performance in the movie.
Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto was honored with the award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography, not only for his work in “Killers of the Flower Moon” but also for his remarkable skills showcased in the upcoming Barbie movie directed by Greta Gerwig.
“Killers of the Flower Moon” unfolds a gripping narrative centered around the brutal murders tied to the attempted dispossession of an Osage family’s lands in 1920s Oklahoma. Beneath the surface lies the chilling backdrop of the world’s most valuable oil fields.
While initial concerns loomed over the film’s box office performance, these accolades from the NBR and other prestigious institutions underscore its critical acclaim and cement Scorsese’s reputation as an unparalleled director in the industry.
