Mr. Scorsese2025

Incisively making links between Scorsese’s life and work, and letting its A-list guest stars tell wonderful stories, this is a smart, fast salute to a goodfella.

I really enjoyed this. While there was enough material for five more episodes, the ride offers a glimpse into the lows and highs of Scorsese's personal and professional life. Essential for anyone who wants to know more, and a treat for existing fans.

Scorsese and Spielberg were the great exemplars of the “film school generation” of “New Hollywood” directors. As “name” directors all but vanish from business model (Ari Aster is the youngest filmmaker interviewed here), “Mr. Scorsese” stands as a five part monument to the auteur theory of filmmakers, and why in his case, it’s the only explanation for his art that we need.
