The Cinema of Martin Scorsese

Front Cover
Roundhouse, 1997 - Performing Arts - 200 pages
Scorsese is one of America's most distinctive and successful filmmakers. For twenty-five years, he has provided audiences with tough, gritty, yet beautifully composed movies - many of them all-time classics. From the urban violence, psychosis, and isolation of Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy, and Goodfellas, through the opulent lyricism of The Age of Innocence, to the operatic and controversial Raging Bull and The Last Temptation of Christ, Scorsese has not compromised his vision of the human heart and its struggles.
