- Summary
- Martin Scorsese is one of the most respected names in cinema, with a track record that puts him firmly among the all-time greats of filmmaking. Scorsese's directorial debut was in 1963, with a movie he made while still a student at New York University. He achieved superstar status, not just for himself as a director but also for Robert de Niro as an actor, with the classic Taxi Driver in 1976. Since then, Scorsese's name has become synonymous with movies that make the spine tingle- Raging Bull, Casino, The Departed --and of course, Goodfellas . From his debut feature to The Wolf of Wall Street, Martin Scorsese: A Retrospective charts the director's glittering 50-year career at the helm of filmmaking. Movie by movie, this stunning monograph provides the definitive celebration of one of cinema's most enduring talents.
