The 57th New York Film Festival will premiere Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman at Alice Tully Hall on Friday, September 29th, 2019.
Statement from NYFF festival director Kent Jones:
“The Irishman is so many things: rich, funny, troubling, entertaining and, like all great movies, absolutely singular. It’s the work of masters, made with a command of the art of cinema that I’ve seen very rarely in my lifetime, and it plays out at a level of subtlety and human intimacy that truly stunned me. All I can say is that the minute it was over my immediate reaction was that I wanted to watch it all over again.”
Scorsese hasn’t teamed up with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci for a movie since 1995’s “Casino.” “The Irishman” is, by far, the most anticipated movie of the year, maybe of the decade.
