Martin Scorsese: a Retrospective Free FREE MARTIN SCORSESE: A RETROSPECTIVE PDF Tom Shone | 287 pages | 07 Oct 2014 | Abrams | 9781419710629 | English | New York, United States GoodFellas , directed by Martin Scorsese | Film review If Mount Rushmore depicted the greatest American filmmakers instead of the greatest American Presidents, surely Martin Scorsese would be one of the first faces selected for inclusion. Over his fifty-year career, Scorsese has directed some of the most award-winning and iconic films in Hollywood history. He is also noted for his documentary films and his leading stance on the preservation of film history through his organization, the Film Foundation. After more than fifty years of filmmaking, Scorsese shows no signs of slowing down. His latest film, Silencea project he has been working on since the s was released in late and an exhibit and major retrospective of his work is currently on view at the Museum of the Modern Image in his hometown of Queens, New York where Scorsese was born and spent the first eight years of his life. To celebrate Scorsese's continued success, here is a primer of Scorsese's greatest films. Of course, choosing the very best films out of Martin Scorsese's filmography is a near impossible task, but these ten, in chronological order, are considered among his very best narrative films. Scorsese drew from his own life to create this film about Charlie, a young Italian-American Harvey Keitel who is trying to make a name for himself in the New York mafia. However, his friendship with untrustworthy gambler Johnny Boy Robert De Niro and Charlie's religious faith come between him and his aspirations. The gritty, street-level depiction of New Martin Scorsese: A Retrospective City became a trademark for Scorsese. Few films are as influential as Taxi Driver, which continues to color our perception of themes of vigilantism, alienation and even heroism seen in so many movies. Upon Martin Scorsese: A Retrospective a taxicab driver in New York City to escape from his insomnia, he becomes disgusted with the urban decay that surrounds Martin Scorsese: A Retrospective. Scorsese's reputation for violence came from the film's thrilling Martin Scorsese: A Retrospective, a shootout sequence that asks viewers to consider Bickle's actions. Scorsese turned this biopic of champion middlewight boxer Jake LaMotta into high art. Scorsese depicts the bloody rise and destructive fall of LaMotta with Martin Scorsese: A Retrospective beautiful black and white cinematography and with unforgettable editing by Thelma Schoonmaker, who has since edited all of Scorsese's features. The interplay between De Niro and Lewis is caustic and made this film, which was underappreciated upon its initial release, one of Scorsese's best. In today's celebrity-worship culture, The King of Comedy seems even more profound. Another frequently Martin Scorsese: A Retrospective gem, After Hours is about Paul Griffin Dunnea man who undergoes a series of unfortunate events during one hellish night in New York City after he is stranded with only a few cents in his pocket. After Hours celebrates the weirdness of Martin Scorsese: A Retrospective Manhattan when the sun goes down at a Martin Scorsese: A Retrospective before conveniences like cell phones and bank cards not to mention artisan coffee shops. Scorsese's Catholic faith has been central to many of his films. The Last Temptation of Christ was extremely controversial upon its release for depicting Jesus played by Willem Dafoe being tempted by the failings of his human side. The controversy ignored that this film—which is not based on the Gospels—reaffirms Jesus' divinity. Nearly thirty years later, most critics have come around and now appreciate its artistic value. All the mafia stereotypes that didn't originate in The Godfather came from Goodfellasa brilliant look at the rise—and even bigger fall—of a trio of gangsters. The iconic camerawork, dialogue, and direction is Scorsese's ultimate exploration of the mafia, and it is one of the most quotable movies of all time. Casinowhich reunited many of the players from Goodfellas including De Niro, Pesci, and screenwriter Nicholas Pileggiis based on the mafia's influence on the gambling operations in Las Vegas during the s. While it isn't quite as legendary as GoodfellasCasino explores similar themes of crime, corruption, trust, and unchecked ambition. For three decades, film critics and fans wondered how Martin Scorsese never won an Oscar for Best Director. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio—Scorsese's "regular" lead since 's Gangs of New York —Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, and Mark Wahlberg in an elaborate double-crossing scheme involving Boston cops infiltrating gangsters and gangsters infiltrating cops. The cat-and-mouse nature of the film makes it an edge-of-you-seat thriller. InScorsese released his first-ever children's film, Hugo. Though minutes may seem long for a kids' movie, Scorsese's first 3D film is a celebration of film history that can be appreciated by viewers of any age. Asa Butterfield stars as Hugo, a boy who lives in a Paris train station. Christopher McKittrick.

Scorsese used to wrap up each feature by hustling through a fast documentary on its tail, a practice that unfortunately he seems to have discontinued. It's simply Catherine and Charles Scorsese sitting reminiscing on a plastic sofa; but their son Marty demonstrates an early maturity by allowing them a lot of living-space and little interference, from which a likeable and affectionate portrait emerges. Charles is a regular, unpretentious guy; Catherine an engaging, garrulous mama, from whom Scorsese obviously inherited his furious logorrhea. She also makes meatballs, whose recipe is included on the credits. Share Tweet. The Irishman , directed by Martin Scorsese | Film review As ofScorsese has worked with Robert De Niro more times than any other actor. Several of Scorsese's films depict criminals and cops with unclear morality, with a focus on Italian-Americans and the Mafia.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Under the Influence: Scorsese/Walsh, a 12
    BAMcinématek presents Under the Influence: Scorsese/Walsh, a 12-film series pairing Martin Scorsese works with their inspirations from Raoul Walsh’s seminal oeuvre, Mar 12—26 Opens with Walsh’s Regeneration, featuring live piano by acclaimed silent film accompanist Steve Sterner The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Feb 12, 2014—From Wednesday, March 12 through Wednesday, March 26, BAMcinématek presents Under the Influence: Scorsese/Walsh, pairing six Scorsese classics with their inspirations from Raoul Walsh’s seminal oeuvre. The still-undervalued Walsh’s lean, mean portraits of gangsters, knack for evoking gritty urban locales, and assured handling of white- knuckle action provide a virtual template for modern-day maestro (and avowed Walsh admirer) Martin Scorsese’s work. Viewed side by side, the films of these two iconic auteurs reveal a fascinating and ongoing creative dialogue across the generations. One of the great action directors of the Hollywood studio era, Raoul Walsh was the swaggering, manly-man artist behind some of the best movies to star James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, and Errol Flynn. ―Walsh’s explosive outcast characters were bigger than life,‖ said Martin Scorsese, whose own violent, masculine oeuvre is just as full of explosive outcasts. ―Their lust for life was insatiable, even as their actions precipitated their tragic destiny. The world was too small for them.‖ Walsh was ―probably Scorsese’s single most important influence,‖ wrote critic Dave Kehr (Moving Image Source), even if Scorsese’s debts to Michael Powell, Luchino Visconti, and other filmmakers have been more widely acknowledged over the years.

  • Eternity and History: the Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos,’ the First Complete U.S
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ‘ETERNITY AND HISTORY: THE CINEMA OF THEO ANGELOPOULOS,’ THE FIRST COMPLETE U.S. RETROSPECTIVE IN 25 YEARS Film series focusing on the director of Landscape in the Mist, The Traveling Players, and Eternity and a Day July 8–24, 2016 at Museum of the Moving Image Astoria, Queens, NY, June 23, 2016—Greece’s most prominent film director of the post-1968 era, Theo Angelopoulos (1935–2012) was a master cinema stylist. His investigations into history and politics, tyranny and resistance, and spiritual anomie and emotional devastation place him on equal footing with filmmakers like Andrei Tarkovsky, Bernardo Bertolucci, and Wim Wenders. Today, at a time when Greece has struggled with impending economic collapse, and as the country’s refugee crisis has worsened, with displaced populations fleeing war in the Middle East and massing on its borders, the themes of Angelopoulos’s cinema are pressing once again. Museum of the Moving Image will present Eternity and History: The Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos, a complete retrospective of the director’s career—the first in the United States in 25 years—from July 8 through 24, 2016. The retrospective will also be presented at the Harvard Film Archive in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from July 15 through August 22. The presentation of the retrospective at Museum of the Moving Image was made possible with support from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and the Hellenic American Chamber of Commerce. “As a new generation of Greek filmmakers, including Yorgos Lanthimos and Athina Rachel Tsangari, have reached international prominence, the time is ripe to see Angelopoulos anew, as cinema that reflects on the past while foretelling the turbulent world we are now living in,” said Chief Curator David Schwartz.
