Scorsese Shorts [1963-78]
Spine #1030
Blu-ray
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, when he was emerging as one of the era's most electrifying talents. Scorsese Shorts centers on the intimate home movie Italianamerican — a loving snapshot of the director's parents — and American Boy, a free-wheeling portrait of a larger-than-life raconteur. Also included are The Big Shave, a daringly visceral response to America's involvement in Vietnam, and the bracing student films What's a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This? and It's Not Just You, Murray! Touching on many of Scorsese's key themes — Italian American identity, family, his beloved New York City -- these are hilarious, candid, and illuminating works from the preeminent American filmmaker of our time.
