Martin Scorsese's challenging and often controversial films are a record
of the most personal achievement in modern American cinema. Mean
Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Gooodfellas--these titles
conjure up a world and a style of filmmaking that he has made his own,
one of a savage beauty of great intensity and truth.
The interviews which make up this book chart the journey that Scorsese
has taken across the years in search of new subjects to engage and
absorb him, and in the process reveal a man who, like Michael Powell and
Francios Truffaut, has an unbridled passion for film--a passion which is
evident in every frame of his work.
This new, revised edition includes chapters on Goodfellas, Cape
Fear, The Age of Innocence, and other projects up to Casino, thus
bringing up to date the story of America's most exciting and articulate
contemporary filmmaker.
