‘The Irishman’ Clip: Never Keep Al Pacino Waiting
No one in their right mind would keepAl Pacinowaiting, but that’s whatStephen Graham’s Anthony Provenzano does in a recently released clip fromMartin Scorsese’s mob epic,The Irishman. And understandably, he gets chewed out by Pacino’s powerful Teamsters leaderJimmy Hoffain a monologue that speaks profoundly to the soul of every punctual person. WatchThe Irishmanclip below.
The Irishman Clip
Punctual people are getting a comeback in pop culture lately. First there was Anna Torv’s Wendy Carr onMindhunter, who delivered a sharp rant about the importance of being on time to movies. And now there’s Al Pacino’s Jimmy Hoffa, the only man who can lambast a mob boss for being more than 10 minutes late to a meeting. It’s a profoundly satisfying scene that will touch the heart of every punctual person (not that I would know, and now I feel bad, I’m sorry Al Pacino). The newThe Irishmanclip is a quiet little comedic scene in Scorsese’s crime drama, but the rapid-fire dialogue and the satisfying way that Pacino dresses down Graham’s Anthony Provenzano elevates this little moment to comedy gold.
It’s just one of many disarming funny moments peppered throughout Scorsese’s latest mob masterwork, which starsRobert De Niro, Al Pacino,andJoe Pesciin a decades-spanning saga that transcends time and technology.The Irishmanreceived a rapturous reception upon its world premiere at the New York Film Festival, where I and /Film’s Chris Evangelista were blessed with the chance to see it. Chris writes in hisreview, “This is Scorsese at his most reflective, crafting a masterwork that finds the filmmaker reflecting on everything he’s done, and what it’s all amounted to,” and I wholeheartedlyagree.
The Irishmanwill open in limited release onNovember 1, 2019before it premieres on Netflix onNovember 27, 2019.
