5.0 out of 5 stars Great American Director, Great DVD, March 13, 2001

By 

Bradford Van Slooten (Orlando, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Directors - Martin Scorsese (DVD)

AFI did a great job here on giving brief bio's and other pertinent information on the great modern day directors working in America. This AFI effort on Martin Scorsese is a well put together DVD on Scorsese's influence and effect on modern day motion pictures.

Scorsese was once bedridden for a long period of time in his youth with a severe case of asthma. You can see with the time he had on his hands that filmmaking and cinema history became his passion. Although, most of his films have a rugged, hyperkinetic, and fragmented look to them; Scorsese, in my opinion, has a more thorough vocabulary of shot selection than any director working today. His shot selection in any film he shoots comes from years and years of studying the masters in their past films.

I strongly recommend this DVD. It is a great buy. Also, Buy it as soon as possible. I could not find this DVD anywhere!

This review is from: The Directors - Martin Scorsese (DVD)

I have presented a research on Martin Scorsese' cinema and this DVD is the best video resource i could ever find. Scorsese' own words on how he developed his style was a great help for me. This is an absolutely great documentary for everyone interested in his cinema.
