A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American MoviesFrom one of the world's most acclaimed directors comes an absorbing and informative look at American film and its practitioners, from silents to the movies of the 1970s, and how it shaped Martin Scorsese's own artistic vision. Scorsese revisits all kinds of movies that had strong influences and effects on him - not only the prestige titles from major directors and studios - but also the lesser praised B-movies and other undervalued genres. What he responds to - and celebrates - is film itself: the movies that make fullest use of the medium's potential and the directors who created them. |
