مارتن سكورسيزي: نظرة استعادية

I've rewatched Raging Bull and Goodfellas so many times, and this book finally gave me the context behind how those films came together. The writing on his early seventies emergence is sharp without getting too academic.

The behind-the-scenes photos alone are worth it, especially the ones from the Raging Bull and Taxi Driver shoots. I've been flipping through a chapter a night and keep noticing small details I missed in the films themselves.

I went in expecting a coffee-table book and got something closer to a film course. The chronology follows his career from the early seventies straight through, and seeing the arc laid out that way made me want to rewatch Raging Bull immediately.
