The Irishman, part of the Criterion Collection, showcases Martin Scorsese's incredible filmmaking skills in this powerful crime story. It reflects on his impressive six-decade career through the eyes of Frank Sheeran, a former hitman and union truck driver, played by Robert De Niro. As Sheeran looks back from a nursing home, he recalls his journey through organized crime. His story includes connections with mob boss Russell Bufalino, portrayed by Joe Pesci, and his relationship with Teamsters union leader Jimmy Hoffa, played by Al Pacino.

This tale of loyalty and betrayal unfolds against the backdrop of mid-twentieth-century American history. Based on Sheeran’s real-life confessions, as told to writer Charles Brandt in the book "I Heard You Paint Houses," The Irishman offers deep reflections on aging, mortality, and the choices we make throughout our lives. The film balances breathtaking directing with a personal exploration of the regrets and decisions that define a person's existence, making it a significant addition to Scorsese's illustrious body of work.
