Martin Scorsese (b. 1942) has long been considered one of America's
greatest cinematic storytellers. Over the last fifty years he has
created some of the most iconic moments in American film, never
afraid to confront controversial issues with passion. While few of
his films are directly autobiographical, his upbringing in New
York's Little Italy, the childhood asthma that kept him from
playing sports, and his early desire to enter the priesthood all
helped form his sensibilities and later shaped his distinct style.
Community, religion, violence?these themes drive a Scorsese
picture, and whether he examines the violence that bursts forth in
the hand of Travis Bickle or the passion of Jesus Christ,
Scorsese's mastery of the history, art, and craft of filmmaking is
undeniable. This collection was originally edited by the late Peter
Brunette in 1999 and is now revised and extensively updated by
Robert Ribera. It traces Scorsese's evolution from the earliest
days of the New American Cinema, his work with Roger Corman, and
his days at New York University's film program to his efforts to
preserve the legacy of cinema, his documentary work, and his recent
string of successes. Among new movies discussed are The Departed,
Hugo, and The Wolf of Wall Street, and the documentaries No
Direction Home and The Blues. Scorsese stands out as a director,
producer, scholar, preservationist, and icon. His work both behind
the camera and in the service of its history are a cornerstone of
American and world cinemas. In these interviews, Scorsese takes us
from Elizabeth Street to the heights of Hollywood and all the
journeys in between.
