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

Synopsis
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.

- a***l (151)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseExcellent! Retrostar Music is a very fair seller - they gave me a 5% discount on top of an already great price! They also communicated the status of my order quite frequently. The CD I ordered came in a box with plenty of wrapping paper to ensure it would not get beaten up in shipping. Usually sellers just send CDs in envelopes, so I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived in a box. The CD itself is in perfect condition. A+ experience!
