Martin Scorsese’s Documentary Histories - Migrations, Movies, Music (Hardcover)

Martin Scorsese’s Documentary Histories: Migrations, Movies, Music is the first comprehensive study of Martin Scorsese’s prolific work as a documentary filmmaker. Highlighting the historiographic aims of the director’s various non-fiction film, video, and television productions, Mike Meneghetti re-examines Scorsese’s documentaries as resourceful audiovisual histories of migrations, movies, and popular music. Italianamerican’s critical immersion in the post-Sixties ethnic revival inaugurates Scorsese’s decades-long documentary project in 1974, and the era’s developing vernacular of reclamation would shape each of his subsequent non-fiction efforts. Martin Scorsese's Documentary Histories surveys the succeeding films’ decisive adherence to this language of retrieval. With extended analyses of Italianamerican, American Boy: A Profile of Steven Prince, The Last Waltz, Shine a Light, Feel Like Going Home, No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, Il mio viaggio in Italia, and A Letter to Elia among others, Meneghetti resituates Scorsese’s filmmaking within the wider contexts of documentary history and American culture.
