Pennsylvania, 1956. Frank Sheeran, a war veteran of Irish origin who works as a truck driver, accidentally meets mobster Russell Bufalino. Once Frank becomes his trusted man, Bufalino sends him to Chicago with the task of helping Jimmy Hoffa, a powerful union leader related to organized crime, with whom Frank will maintain a close friendship for nearly twenty years.
These foreign films share the same emotional core, themes, and structural feel as The Irishman. Every one of them has confirmed English subtitles or dubbing.
What ties these together is grief, loyalty under pressure, and loss of innocence. They share the same lens on corrupt institutions and family duty. Same energy: melancholic, dark comedy, and slow burn.
