Scorsese: A Journey Through the American Psyche

Book Review by: marfabulous    

Original Author: Paul A. Woods
From the violence-drenched streets of Taxi Driver to the mighty Aviator.Martin Scorsese's Films truely reveal the dark heart
of the american culture.This new anthology compiles the best interviews, reviews, and articles
pertaining to a man rightfully hailed as one of the most talented and
respected directors in the history of film. Rising to prominence in the
cinematic golden age of the 1970s, Scorsese led a group of young
iconoclastic directors who took filmmaking to new artistic heights
while advancing it as a powerful form of social commentary. This
carefully chosen collection, the fifth title in the Ultrascreen series,
examines Scorsese's personal history and passions, and how they have
informed and inspired his filmmaking. Spanning several decades, this
anthology charts the evolution of modern cinema through the work of one
of its masters.
