Shutter Island (2003 Novel) | Investigating the Mystery of Your Own Mind

Author Dennis Lehane is well known for the high-profile adaptations of his work, but none more than his book SHUTTER ISLAND which went on to be adapted by the legendary Martin Scorsese—but how does the novel hold up on its own? In episode 328, join writer Luke Elliott & filmmaker James Bailey as they revel in gothic vibes, learn about a surprising connection to "The Wire," learn not to trust a man because of his incongruous hands, encounter a strange woman in a cave, and finally have the rug pulled out from under them in a twist for the ages. Join them next week when they cover the film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Emily Mortimer, and Mark Ruffalo!
