Pope Francis met with Martin Scorsese at the Vatican

On Wednesday, Pope Francis met with Martin Scorsese. According to official sources on social media, the meeting took place in the Paul VI Hall before the general audience. Last May, the pope and the director of “Taxi Driver,” “The Departed” and “Good Boys,” among others, held a meeting in which the filmmaker told him he was working on a film about Jesus. In addition, they had already met in 2016, when the director presented his film “Silence”, about the Jesuits in Japan, and in 2019. It didn’t take long for images of the meeting between the two figures to go viral on social media. Let’s remember that Scorsese’s latest film, “The Killers of the Moon”, is nominated for the next edition of the Academy Awards, in the category “Best Picture”. It competes alongside “Oppenheimer,” “Barbie,” “Maestro,” “Past Lives,” “Poor Creatures,” “Area of Interest,” “American Fiction,” “Anatomy of a Fall” and “Those Who Remain.”You may also like: Oscars 2024: “Oppenheimer,” “Snow Society,” “Poor Creatures,” and the full list of nomineesStarring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, “The Killers of the Moon” takes us back to 1919 in Gray Horse, Oklahoma, when a massacre was carried out against the native peoples of Osage from the search and conquest of oil in the region. The film is based on the bloodthirsty real case, which in turn was narrated in the novel of the same name by David Grann (2019).
