Which filmmaker directed Martin Scorsese’s 2010 psychological thriller Shutter Island?

Martin Scorsese directed the 2010 psychological thriller Shutter Island. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Teddy Daniels, a U.S. marshal who travels to a remote island institution with his partner, Chuck Aule, played by Mark Ruffalo. They investigate the disappearance of a patient from Ashecliffe Hospital.

Shutter Island was adapted from Dennis Lehane’s 2003 novel of the same name. Its narrative uses mystery, gothic atmosphere, wartime trauma, and psychological uncertainty, gradually challenging the audience’s assumptions about Teddy’s investigation. Ben Kingsley, Michelle Williams, and Patricia Clarkson also appear in important roles.

The film was released in February 2010 and became one of Scorsese’s most commercially successful movies. Although it is often described as a horror film, it is more specifically a psychological thriller with strong noir and gothic elements. The director’s collaboration with DiCaprio continued after Gangs of New York, The Aviator, and The Departed, making Shutter Island one of several major films they made together.
