Shutter Island on Arte: Leonardo DiCaprio confronts the secrets of a remote hospital

A patient has disappeared from a psychiatric hospital on an island: Shutter Island returns to Arte. Martin Scorsese reunites with Leonardo DiCaprio for this adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s novel, scripted by Laeta Kalogridis.

In 1954, U.S. Marshals Teddy Daniels and Chuck Aule arrive to investigate an apparently impossible escape. Rachel Solando’s cell was locked from the outside. The staff’s answers and the facility’s isolation quickly complicate their mission.

Leonardo DiCaprio plays Teddy, opposite Mark Ruffalo as Chuck Aule. Ben Kingsley plays Dr. Cawley, while Michelle Williams, Max von Sydow, Emily Mortimer and Patricia Clarkson round out the cast. Released in 2010, the film is Scorsese and DiCaprio’s fourth collaboration, following Gangs of New York, The Aviator and The Departed.
