Robert De Niro and “The Irishman” To Open This Year’s Los Cabos Film Festival

The Irishman to Open the 8th Los Cabos Film Festival

Los Cabos International Film Festival announced Martin Scorsese’s highly anticipated crime drama The Irishman will open the 8th edition of the Festival. The film’s Latin American premiere will be held at the Pabellón Cultural de la República in Cabo San Lucas on November 13.

Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci star in Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, an epic saga of organized crime in post-war America told through the eyes of World War II veteran Frank Sheeran, a hustler and hitman who worked alongside some of the most notorious figures of the 20th century. Spanning decades, the film chronicles one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history, the disappearance of legendary union boss Jimmy Hoffa, and offers a monumental journey through the hidden corridors of organized crime: its inner workings, rivalries and connections to mainstream politics.

“We are proud to present the Latin American premiere of The Irishman, the recent film from one of the most influential filmmakers in World Cinema and to collaborate with Netflix to have this emblematic work on the Festival’s screens and in Los Cabos. ”– Maru Garzón, Artistic Director & Alejandra Paulín, Executive Director of the Festival.
