When I started reading this book, I decided to watch his films along the way. It was a slow but very fulfilling experience! While one may not like all of his films, one would still gain certain appreciation for these films having read his thought process. Marty also frequently cited music and older films that became inspirations to his own films. This made reading the Scorsese on Scorsese a rich experience. One could go beyond this book and take h This book is filled with insights on Marty's filmmaking process. One could go beyond this book and take his own journey in finding out more on film history. Marty's passion for films was apparent all over the book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is curious about filmmaking, or anyone who just loves films! First time on Goodreads I looked through other reviews before giving mine, because I actually don't know if like it or not and basically I feel the same about Scrosese movies themselves. His later more mainstream Holywood ones like Casino, The Age of Innocence or Aviator are not covered here - the book was published in late 80s and covers Scorsese films up to Goodfellas. Goodreads reviews are 4 First time on Goodreads I looked through other reviews before giving mine, because I actually don't know if like it or not and basically I feel the same about Scrosese movies themselves. Goodreads reviews are star positive, but for me the book was very meager. The serie is always awesome when director invites you into his cook-room and shows all the in and outs, how the film went from intial conception to the final realization and how director's world reflected in all the stages of creation. In this case we rather see brief memoirs of main events in relationships with studios, screenwriters Scorsese on Scorsese producers. The most interesting and usefull part is a depiction of Scorsese work with actors mainly De Niro but not only. That's what kept my interest through the whole book. Apr 26, Rajdeep Chauhan rated it it was amazing. The book offers a very rich insight into the influences of Scorsese, his interest in antagonists and Scorsese on Scorsese part his religious inclination and tough neighborhood has played in shaping his movies. Scorsese talks in length about his journey from a once wanna be priest to a man obsessed with pictures as he likes to call them. It's an essential read for anyone who has any interest in films in general or Scorsese in particular. It is replete with behind the camera stories and Scorsese talks in length about the big old debate of 'art vs commerce' and how he manages the two. Aug 19, David Sterritt added it.

Like other books in this series that I've read, this is done mostly in conversational style, clips from interviews originally, in most cases. Ordered chronologically by Scorsese on Scorsese, with a final brief chapter on "Goodfellas", barely released at the date of publication for the edition I have.

Personal takes on great movies by their directors can be fascinating, and Scorsese is a master of every part Scorsese on Scorsese his process. Having been enthralled by his movies since I was in my teens, seeing something of the mindset that Scorsese on Scorsese into such excellent and diverse work is mesmerising. Until he got into transcendental meditation in the last 20 years, the guy couldn't bear Scorsese on Scorsese sit through any of his movies - bar The Last Temptation of Christ - in public.

Well, Scorsese on Scorsese you want to know the level of care Scorsese on Scorsese expertise that goes into such pieces, this is a very compelling matter. A small word of caution - if you think you know anything about cinema, encountering Scorsese's view on the matter will probably shatter your ego. I remember watching ten minutes of his Scorsese on Scorsese to American movies and feeling Scorsese on Scorsese utter fool. He is a master, and for so many reasons this book is worth reading. Oct 06, Connor Smook rated it it was amazing. Love these Director on Director books! Hearing completely different perspectives of directors. I've read this and Godard's, next up is Herzog, though I've got other books to finish first! Scorsese is one of my Scorsese on Scorsese influences, and here, we get to pick a good amount of his brain, here how he related his personal feelings to his movies! Whil Love these Director on Director books! While he does continue to work on big studios past the '70s and although experiment less, he manages to stay true to himself and make honest work in this American Scorsese on Scorsese system where business holds art captive, although Scorsese on Scorsese better than others and never even close matching the quality of his older movies, not making dishonest garbage.

  • 1 Evolving Authorship, Developing Contexts: 'Life Lessons'
    Notes 1 Evolving Authorship, Developing Contexts: ‘Life Lessons’ 1. This trajectory finds its seminal outlining in Caughie (1981a), being variously replicated in, for example, Lapsley and Westlake (1988: 105–28), Stoddart (1995), Crofts (1998), Gerstner (2003), Staiger (2003) and Wexman (2003). 2. Compare the oft-quoted words of Sarris: ‘The art of the cinema … is not so much what as how …. Auteur criticism is a reaction against sociological criticism that enthroned the what against the how …. The whole point of a meaningful style is that it unifies the what and the how into a personal state- ment’ (1968: 36). 3. For a fuller discussion of the conception of film authorship here described, see Grist (2000: 1–9). 4. While for this book New Hollywood Cinema properly refers only to this phase of filmmaking, the term has been used by some to designate ‘either something diametrically opposed to’ such filmmaking, ‘or some- thing inclusive of but much larger than it’ (Smith, M. 1998: 11). For the most influential alternative position regarding what he calls ‘the New Hollywood’, see Schatz (1993). For further discussion of the debates sur- rounding New Hollywood Cinema, see Kramer (1998), King (2002), Neale (2006) and King (2007). 5. ‘Star image’ is a concept coined by Richard Dyer in relation to film stars, but it can be extended to other filmmaking personnel. To wit: ‘A star image is made out of media texts that can be grouped together as promotion, publicity, films and commentaries/criticism’ (1979: 68). 6. See, for example, Grant (2000), or the conception of ‘post-auteurism’ out- lined and critically demonstrated in Verhoeven (2009).

  • Collaborations of Martin Scorsese with De Niro And
    From Realism to Reinvention: Collaborations of Martin Scorsese with De Niro and DiCaprio By Travis C. Yates Martin Scorsese is considered by many to be the greatest film director of the past quarter- century. He has left an indelible mark on Hollywood with a filmography that spans more than four decades and is as influential as it is groundbreaking. The proverb goes, “It takes a village to raise a child.” The same could be said of cinema, though one popular filmmaking theory refutes this. French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard said of the filmmaking process, “The cinema is not a craft. It is an art. It does not mean teamwork. One is always alone on the set as before the blank page” (Naremore 9). Film theorist Robert Stam discusses this concept of auteur theory in Film Theory: An Introduction , an idea that originated in postwar France in the 1950s. It is the view that the director is solely responsible for the overall look and style of a film. As Colin Tait submits in his article “When Marty Met Bobby: Collaborative Authorship in Mean Streets and Taxi Driver ,” the theory is a useful tool at best, incorrect at worst. Tait criticizes the theory in that it denies the influence of other artists involved in the production as well as the notion of collaboration. It is this spirit of collaboration in Scorsese films featuring two specific actors, Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, which this this paper will examine. Scorsese has collaborated with De Niro on eight films, the first being Mean Streets in 1973 and the most recent being Casino in 1995.

It was, after all, Liza Minnelli's first musical role since her diamond hard performance in Cabaret (1972). Minnelli, taking on the mantle of both her father and mother, seemed destined to be the keeper of the flame of the classic Hollywood musical.4 Moreover, Scorsese, trading on the success of Cabaret, hired its composers, John Kander and Fred Ebb, to add new songs to a score of period classics.

    A film by Martin Scorsese Opens in cinemas nationally on FEBRUARY 16, 2017 PUBLICITY REQUESTS: Transmission Films Australia / Amy Burgess +61 2 8333 9000 / [email protected] IMAGES High res images and key art poster available to via the DOWNLOAD MEDIA tab at: http://www.transmissionfilms.com.au/films/silence 1 PRODUCTION INFORMATION Martin Scorsese’s Silence, the Academy Award winning director’s long anticipated film about faith and religion, tells the story of two 17th century Portuguese missionaries who undertake a perilous journey to Japan to search for their missing mentor, Father Christavao Ferreira, and to spread the gospel of Christianity. Scorsese directs Silence from a screenplay he wrote with Jay Cocks. The film, based on Shusaku Endo’s 1966 award-winning novel, examines the spiritual and religious question of God’s silence in the face of human suffering. Martin Scorsese and Emma Koskoff and Irwin Winkler produce alongside Randall Emmett, Barbara De Fina, Gastón Pavlovich, and Vittorio Cecchi Gori with executive producers Dale A. Brown, Matthew J. Malek, Manu Gargi, Ken Kao, Dan Kao, Niels Juul, Chad A. Verdi, Gianni Nunnari, Len Blavatnik and Aviv Giladi. Silence stars Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider Man, Hacksaw Ridge), Adam Driver (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Paterson) and Liam Neeson (Schindler’s List, Taken). The film follows the young missionaries, Father Sebastian Rodrigues (Garfield) and Father Francisco Garupe (Driver) as they search for their missing teacher and mentor and minister to the Christian villagers they encounter who are forced to worship in secret. At that time in Japan, feudal lords and ruling Samurai were determined to eradicate Christianity in their midst; Christians were persecuted and tortured, forced to apostatize, that is, renounce their faith or face a prolonged and agonizing death.

  • Hollywood's New Yorker
    Introduction Martin Scorsese and Film Culture IN MARCH 2007 THREE VETERAN filmmakers of the New Hollywood, Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg, came to the stage of the Academy Awards to present the award for Best Director. The moment this occurred, it became obvious to anyone in the know who the announced winner would be. Martin Scorsese was the prohibitive favorite, a veteran of American cinema who had been nominated five times previously without a victory. Like the three presenters, Scorsese was a director associated with the New Hollywood of the 1970s. Further‑ more, he was widely regarded as the greatest of that generation and as arguably the best of all living American filmmakers. It became clear that the Oscar ceremony was carefully staged theater. Typically, the previous year’s winner presents the award. In this case, it would have been Ang Lee, the winner in 2005 for Brokeback Mountain. The Academy decided to break with this tradition and have Coppola, Lucas, and Spielberg announce the winner. Scorsese was thus finally inducted into the Hollywood “inside” with his fellow New Hollywood directors. Scorsese’s acceptance speech tell‑ ingly made reference to the importance of film preservation and protect‑ ing Hollywood’s great tradition. Scorsese was both placing himself in this tradition while referencing his own work as a cultural historian. Even as he was accepting this symbol of middlebrow respectability, Scorsese attempted to remind his audience that his true passion was not his own filmmaking but the whole of film culture. As much as possible, Scorsese worked to mitigate the move to the mainstream of Hollywood produc‑ tion, a move signaled shortly before his Oscar win by his signing of a major production deal with Paramount studio, the first such production deal Scorsese had in several years.
