Synopsis

“Sooner or later everybody put here has a date when he’s gonna go’'

Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci star in Martin Scorsese’s monumental mobster masterpiece THE IRISHMAN, an epic saga that is poignant, funny, and a majestic elegy on mortality.

America told through the eyes of World War II veteran Frank Sheeran, a hustler and hit man who worked alongside some of the most notorious figures of the 20th century. Spanning decades, THE IRISHMAN chronicles one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history, the disappearance of legendary union boss Jimmy Hoffa, and offers a monumental journey through the hidden corridors of organized crime: its inner workings, rivalries and connections to mainstream politics

Traditional storytelling meets cutting edge technology with the use of state-of-the-art visual effects that seamlessly and astonishingly ‘de-age’ the cast from their 70s through their 30s. And what a cast - Martin Scorsese’s ninth collaboration with Robert De Niro reunites the actor with an out-of-retirement Joe Pesci and in some of the movies' most memorable moments with Al Pacino making his debut in a Scorsese movie.

Based on Charles Brandt’s I Heard You Paint Houses, THE IRISHMAN is about friendship and loyalty and the possibility of redemption in a world where it seems completely out of reach. It is also as magnificent a movie that you will see this year.
