This week we revisit Shutter Island from 2010, a neo-noir psychological thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo and Ben Kingsley, about a Deputy U.S. Marshal who comes to Shutter Island to investigate a psychiatric facility after one of the patients goes missing.
We talk about our reactions to Shutter Island after having seen it for the first time, whether the movie's mystery holds up, why paying attention to the details makes for better movies, what goes into a proper mystery that holds up on repeat viewings, our interpretation of the movie's ending, and much more.
