Shutter Island Review

Posted by Allan Ford 19 February, 2010 (1) Comment

Leonardo DiCaprio (Teddy Daniels) and Mark Ruffalo (Chuck Aule) in Shutter Island

Shutter Island marks the fourth collaboration between director Martin Scorsese and star Leonardo DiCaprio, a teaming which has proven successful time and time again. The main question is, does their new film measure up with Gangs Of New York, The Aviator, and The Departed?

I once had the chance to introduce Martin Scorsese at a New York Film Critics Circle awards dinner (he was presenting an award) — and took the opportunity to say out loud that I felt fortunate that my career as a film critic coincided with Martin Scorsese’s career as a filmmaker.
That sentiment still holds. Every film he makes is more than just food for thought — it’s a full banquet. Scorsese is one of only a handful of directors working whose passion for the medium bleeds through in every frame. He forces the critic to bring out his A game — to watch and analyze the film with the same energy and imagination as the filmmaker brought to making it. And that’s absolutely true of Shutter Island, his latest film…read more [The Huffington Post]

Shutter Island: Martin Scorsese Interview

Posted by Allan Ford 18 February, 2010 (1) Comment

Shutter Island: Martin Scorsese, Ben Kingsley, Leonardo DiCaprio  and Mark Ruffalo

From Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese, Shutter Island is the story of two U.S. marshals, Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo), who are summoned to a remote and barren island off the cost of Massachusetts to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a murderess from the island’s fortress-like hospital for the criminally insane.

Q: What were your influences that fed into the making of Shutter Island?

A: There were films that we looked at. The mood and tone of the Val Lewton (producer) films from the early 1940s are great. I showed I Walked With A Zombie and Cat People – terrible titles but great works of poetry. Both of these were produced by Lewton and directed by Jacques Tourneur and there’s another Lewton picture, The Isle of the Dead, which is directed by Mark Robson, and is also very interesting. And certainly we looked at (Roman) Polanski’s films – Cul-de-sac, Repulsion and the ultimate one of this kind, Rosemary’s Baby. Even when you know the ending of Rosemary’s Baby you can watch that film many, many times because it’s fascinating to see how everybody is behaving. The actors are extraordinary and the way he shot it is brilliant – it’s a film that keeps revealing itself through the behaviour of the characters. So that was a big one. I showed Leo and Mark two films right away – Laura and Out of the Past. Actually, I showed them to Sir Ben Kingsley, too, and he hadn’t seen them. At the end of Out of the Past, Leo started applauding and he said ‘I think that’s the coolest movie I’ve ever seen..’
