Inhaltsangabe

"A delight for fans of the director and readers interested in how a life in the film industry can be a rollercoaster of a ride." – Raymond Benson, CinemaRetro

"Another handsome, deeply researched volume from Ian Nathan, whose coffee table books have become something of an art form in themselves." – Dave Lancaster, Cinemas Online

Discover the genius of Martin Scorsese – one of cinema’s greatest storytellers.

For over 50 years, Martin Scorsese has been one of cinema’s most celebrated directors. From a Catholic kid in Manhattan to a legendary filmmaker, he’s shaped Hollywood with masterpieces such as Taxi Driver, Goodfellas and The Irishman.

But what makes a Scorsese film unique? His stories explore power, morality, and human nature, blending raw emotion with intellectual depth. Whether reinventing noir, musicals or crime dramas, his work captures the pulse of America and the Italian-American experience.

This book dives into all 26 of his films, breaking down his signature themes, iconic collaborations with Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, and his place in film history. A true movie fanatic and preservationist, Scorsese continues to push boundaries – proving that cinema isn’t just entertainment, it’s an art form.
