Leonardo DiCaprio introduced Martin Scorsese to Studio Ghibli films

It’s not easy to make film recommendations to a big name in the cinephile world… But Leo absolutely wanted to show him the work of Hayao Miyazaki.

During a discussion orchestrated by LetterboxdMartin Scorsese’s new favorite platform since he follows the generational influence initiated by his daughter, Francesca, Leonardo DiCaprio revealed that he introduced Studio Ghibli to the illustrious filmmaker.

Guests at the time Killers of the Flower Moon is acclaimed within the ceremonial season, Leonardo DiCaprio And Martin Scorsese discuss the cinematic influences that have fueled their collaboration over the years.

The actor, who collaborated six times with the director of Wolf of Wall Street begins by mentioning the difficulty of introducing films to such a filmmaker… and cinephile:

“I was asked to choose films to present to you, but given that you have seen every film made since 1980, it wasn’t easy.“, had fun Leonardo DiCaprio.

The exception to the rule? Hayao Miyazaki seemed to be in the blind spot of Martin Scorsese. Fact, Leonardo DiCaprio presented to him Spirited away And Princess Mononoke.

Perhaps this return to animation will inspire Martin Scorsese to lend his voice again? And why not the English dub of a next Ghibli? Martin Scorsese had played the game for the aquatic project Shark Gangwith a fish with fairly full eyebrows.

Leonardo DiCaprio took advantage of this recognition to mention his general gratitude to the director, who has offered him golden roles since their first collaboration on Gangs of New Yorkin 2002. The star particularly salutes Scorsese’s ability to invite his collaborators to constantly discover new cinematographic works by participating in Martin Scorsese’s screening sessions when he is making a film:

“Marty, you always do this amazing thing for the actors when you’re making a movie. There are these screenings and the whole cast and crew are invited. What’s so beneficial to us as actors is sometimes the overall tone of the film, but sometimes it’s just for a scene.”

Whether it is a behavioral approach for a role, or a unique cinematic experience, the duo addressed the importance of initiation to cinema through diverse and varied proposals.

Martin Scorsese thus continues its conquest of generation Z with its Letterboxd account, made up of quite rich lists.
