Legendary US director Martin Scorsese and his favorite actor Leonardo DiCaprio said Friday they took their collaboration to new heights for the gothic thriller "Shutter Island."

The Oscar-winning director who made a star of Robert De Niro in "Taxi Driver" and "Raging Bull," has formed a close bond in the past decade with DiCaprio since "Gangs of New York."

After "The Departed," which finally gave Scorsese the Best Director Oscar, "we began to realize there was something more that we could push with each other," Scorsese told a press conference in Paris.

With "Shutter Island," their fourth collaboration, they saw an opportunity.

The film, in competition at next week's Berlin Film Festival, follows two US marshals in 1950s Massachusetts pursuing a missing psychiatric patient on Boston's remote Shutter Island.

When a hurricane hits the area, the marshals are stranded on the island, home to a hospital for the criminally insane.

In their previous films together, "you had to dig deep in the recesses of a psychiatric labyrinth," Scorsese said, and with "Shutter Island" they saw a new opportunity but, he joked, they did not realize how far it would push them.

"At its core it's a character piece," DiCaprio said. "It's one man's journey dealing with his own emotional cathartic trauma."

"Shutter Island" evokes paranoia and fear in 1954, but Scorsese said there were parallels with today. "The War is The War... The horrors of that are something we all have to deal with and constantly think about. And question."

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
