About this product
Product Information
Since his emergence in the early seventies, Martin Scorsese has become one of the most respected names in cinema. Classics such as Taxi Driver , Raging Bull and Goodfellas are regularly cited as being among the finest films ever made. Born in New York City in 1942 to Sicilian-American parents, Scorsese spent much of his childhood absorbing the sights and sounds of Little Italy from the balcony of his family's tenement apartment - music blaring, drunks brawling and neighbourhood kids playing stickball. A lifelong asthma sufferer, he took no part in his friends' games and instead fell in love with cinema at an early age, crafting intricate storyboards for as-yet-unmade Westerns and Roman epics. This long apprenticeship paid off in 1962 when Scorsese was accepted onto a film course at New York University and immediately attracted attention with a series of quirky and technically accomplished student shorts. Having made his breakthrough with the gritty Mean Streets (1973), Scorsese outgrew his early reputation as a virtuoso of violence, creating films as diverse as a nineteenth-century literary romance, The Age of Innocence (1993), a dramatization of the early life of the Dalai Lama, Kundun (1997), and a 3D children's fantasy, Hugo (2011). This lavish retrospective is a fitting tribute to a remarkable director, now into his seventh decade in cinema and showing no signs of slowing up. Leading film writer Tom Shone draws on his in-depth knowledge and distinctive viewpoint to present refreshing commentaries on all twenty-six main features, from the rarely shown Who's That Knocking at My Door (1967) to The Irishman (2019), as well as covering Scorsese's notable parallel career as a documentary maker. Impeccably designed, and copiously illustrated with more than two hundred stills and behind-the-scenes images, this is the definitive celebration of one of cinema's most enduring talents.

Reviews
"The massive tome from the fine folks at Abrams Books takes the readers through the director's entire career with never-before-seen images, anecdotes, and input from the master himself. It's a must-have book for any cinema lover and should find its way onto plenty of Christmas lists this year." -- Parade.com "A must-read for cinephiles of all ages." -- The Huffington Post "Extremely covetable ... a must for fans, combining enviable access with memorable insight ... while the archive of stills and behind-the-scenes shots is a gold mine, there's plenty of Shone's prose to savor, too." -- GQ Magazine "Featuring more than 250 images, including movie stills, archive publicity material and onset photography, this stunning monograph is the next best thing to actually viewing a Scorsese film.... A fitting tribute to one of cinema's most enduring talents." -- Florida Weekly "Anyone looking for that tall and heavy book on one of the most continuous prolific directors working today need look no further than this." -- Filmwerk "Shone is too vigorous a critic not to put up a fight. He calls Gangs 'heartbreaking in the way that only missed masterpieces can be: raging, wounded, incomplete, galvanized by sallies of wild invention.' There's lots of jazzy thumbnail writing of this kind, compacted critiques you suspect Shone would merrily expand upon, given more space." -- The Daily Telegraph, "Shone is too vigorous a critic not to put up a fight. He calls Gangs 'heartbreaking in the way that only missed masterpieces can be: raging, wounded, incomplete, galvanized by sallies of wild invention.' There's lots of jazzy thumbnail writing of this kind, compacted critiques you suspect Shone would merrily expand upon, given more space." -- The Daily Telegraph, "Takes the readers through the director's entire career with never-before-seen images, anecdotes, and input from the master himself. It's a must-have book for any cinema lover and should find its way onto plenty of Christmas lists this year." -- Parade.com, "Extremely covetable ... a must for fans, combining enviable access with memorable insight ... while the archive of stills and behind-the-scenes shots is a gold mine, there's plenty of Shone's prose to savor, too." -- GQ Magazine "This magnificent retrospective is a worthy homage to a brilliant filmmaker...The ultimate tribute of some of cinema history's most lasting talents...it has beautifully crafted layout and a bountiful amount of illustrations including more than 200 images and photographs from behind the action." -- Total Prestige
