Review: Mr Scorsese Documentary

A new documentary explores the career of Martin Scorsese, one of cinema's greatest directors.

Martin Scorsese made a film called A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies in 1995, a staggering work of cinema scholarship that traced the history of American film.

He believed that American film was almost entirely a director’s medium and that was his focus: the director as storyteller, the director as illusionist, the director as smuggler and the director as iconoclast.

This documentary is a well-deserved tribute to Scorsese's career, offering a unique perspective on his work and legacy.

Author's summary: Documentary explores Scorsese's career.
