Scorsese shorts, [filmmaker, Martin Scorsese], (videorecording)

Contributor
Summary
  • This compilation of five early short films by Martin Scorsese offers a fascinating window onto his artistic development. Spanning the years from Scorsese's time at NYU in the mid-1960s to the late '70s
  • Italianamerican: "... featuring Scorsese's parents, Catherine and Charles. They talk about their experiences as Italian immigrants in New York City ... among the subjects discussed in the film are family, religion, their origins, Italian ancestors, life in Italy after the war and the hardships of poor Sicilian immigrants in America striving to make money"--Wikipedia
  • American boy: A documentary on Scorsese's friend Steven Prince, known for his small role as Easy Andy, the gun salesman in Taxi driver. Prince is a raconteur telling stories about his life as an ex-drug addict and a road manager for Neil Diamond. Scorsese intersperses home movies of Prince as a child as he talks about his family--adapted from Wikipedia
  • The big shave: A man repeatedly shaving away his hair, then skin, in an increasingly bloody and graphic bathroom scene--adapted from Wikipedia
  • It's not just you, Murray!: "Murray (played by Ira Rubin), is a middle-aged mobster, [who] looks back at his beginnings from being a bootlegger to becoming wealthy and highly influential. He claims his success and happiness is from the support of his "friend" Joe (played by Sam De Fazio). Murray follows Joe blindly but Joe backstabs him by sleeping with his wife."--Wikipedia
  • What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?: A writer purchases and then becomes obsessed with a photograph of a boat. He finally meets a girl who distracts him from his mania, only to come across another picture that takes him in
