The Films of Martin Scorsese looks at Scorsese’s 26-movie filmography, guiding readers through all the crooks, mobsters, loners, and moguls that make Scorsese a fan favorite. In addition to an overview of each film, this book examines Scorsese’s techniques, innovations, themes, and what Scorsese might be trying to tell us through his films.
Few mainstream filmmakers have as pronounced a disregard for the supposed rules of filmmaking as Martin Scorsese. His inventiveness displays a reaction against the “right” way to make a movie, frequently eschewing tradition in favor of something flashy and unexpected. Despite this, he’s become one of the most influential directors of the last fifty years, a critical darling, and a fan favorite.
