ROBBIE ROBERTSON Scored Sepia-Colored Soundtrack For New Scorsese Movie ‘KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON’ Before His Passing Last Summer
22 October 2023
KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, the new movie directed by the now 80 years
old filmmaker Martin Scorsese was released in American theatres last Friday.
The movie is based on author/journalist Dave Grann‘s 2017 book of the same name.
The film’s plot tells the story of Osage Indian murders in the 1920s after oil was discovered on tribal land. Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro are the main actors.
The Band‘s main singer-songwriter-guitarist Robbie Robertson who worked regularly
with Scorsese orchestrated the soundtrack. An almost full instrumental one with Robertson
on guitar, playing beauties from blues, Americana and roots.
He wrote 15 of the 21 pieces.
Unfortunately shortly after, last
August, he passed away, aged 80.
The soundtrack is a n endearing and melancholic opus with
a soothing and mind-relaxing resonance. A cinematic beauty.
