Directed by Martin Scorsese • 2010 • United States
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley
Martin Scorsese masterfully evokes Hitchcock, classic noir, and gothic horror in this baroquely stylized psychological thriller. U.S. Marshall Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) is dispatched to an asylum for the criminally insane on foreboding Shutter Island to investigate the disappearance of a patient—but then the disturbing dreams about his dead wife (Michelle Williams) set in, he starts having flashbacks to Dachau, and he begins to suspect that something sinister is afoot. What is head psychiatrist Dr. John Cawley (Ben Kingsley) really up to?
