Martin Scorseses Biopic über Howard Hughes erweckt eine amerikanische Legende sowie das alte Hollywood zum Leben in dieser prachtvollen Zeitreise und Hommage an das klassische amerikanische Tausendsassatum.

Scorsese’s fascination with obsessive personalities and old Hollywood find their match in his sprawling biopic of famed flyboy, millionaire, movie producer and recluse Howard Hughes. It snagged five Oscars, including for its retro Technicolor camerawork and Cate Blanchett as Katharine Hepburn.
