Description de l'ouvrage :
For over fifty years, Martin Scorsese – that's Scorsezzee to those in the know – has been one of the most revered directors alive, celebrated by peers, critics, and fans alike. From a humble beginning as a Catholic kid from Lower Manhattan who dreamt of making films, Scorsese has become synonymous with cinematic excellence.

But what does it mean to be "the best"? Scorsese’s storied career includes masterpieces like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and The Irishman. His filmography, diverse yet distinctly his own, reflects his dedication to filmmaking as an art form. Scorsese has combined personal vision with commercial success, creating a unique genre: “A Martin Scorsese Picture.”

While Spielberg’s work often explores emotional landscapes, Scorsese delves into the nature of humanity, blending intellectual and primal elements to create powerful and personal narratives. His films, from Mean Streets to The Irishman, offer a journal of American history and the Italian-American experience.

This book explores all twenty-six of Scorsese’s films, examining the themes and techniques that define his work. It delves into the codes of society depicted in his films, the exploration of characters on the edge, and the spiritual struggles portrayed. It also reflects on how these films impact us and elevate cinema beyond mere entertainment.

Scorsese, a true Movie Brat, remains deeply influenced by the past, a passionate film fanatic and preservationist. He has continually reinvented genres, from neo-noir to musicals, and remains critical of Hollywood’s conformity while thriving within it. As he enters his ninth decade, his ambitious projects continue to push boundaries.

The book will also highlight his key collaborations, including those with Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, and editor Thelma Schoonmaker, along with other significant figures like Paul Schrader and Nicholas Pilegg
