Review: Mr Scorsese Documentary

Martin Scorsese, one of the greatest directors of all time, is the subject of a new documentary about his career.

In 1995, Scorsese made a film called A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies, 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, exploring his contributions to cinema.

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