"Shutter Island," the latest masterpiece by Italian-American director Martin Scorsese, wrestles with the insidious influence of American independent cinema and the reformative impact of Italian neorealism.
This time, Scorsese directs Ruffalo and DiCaprio, who deliver a masterful performance. Detective Teddy Daniels arrives at Shutter Island, where a criminal asylum is located. Daniels, in collaboration with Chuck Auel (Mark Ruffalo), must conduct delicate investigations concerning the disappearance of a patient, "Rachel Solando."
The thrilling film consistently captivates, banishing boredom, while Scorsese's ability to evoke genuine emotions in the audience stands out. The unease emanating from the cinematic adaptation of the Lehane novel is palpable. The ending upends expectations and challenges presumptions that will prove groundless. The director's merit lies in staying true to the novel.
What truly delights the viewer is the meticulousness needed to decode the director's brilliantly encrypted messages. A well-deserved tribute to Scorsese and all the actors.

"Scorsese has become the most sadistic of psychologists, a vengeful and ruthless Freud."
"If this film leaves you unmoved, you are ice. In fact, you are not alive."

"This place makes me think. What would be better, living as a monster, or dying as a good man?"
The moment the 'truth' (?) is discovered, everything the viewer has seen crumbles, overwhelming him like the rain of ash that overwhelms protagonist Teddy Daniels.
