A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese through American Movies

I really love this documentary. There's so many terrific clips from so many incredible films. Hearing Scorsese talk about seeing a lot of them when they first came out and how they shaped him as an artist is endlessly fascinating.

You should check out Scorsese's documentary on Italian films Il Mio Viaggio in Italia (My Voyage to Italy).

Quote:
"I saw these movies. They had a powerful effect on me. You should see them." That's Martin Scorsese's message for this documentary. We meet his family on Elizabeth Street in New York; he's a third generation Italian with Sicilian roots. Starting in 1949, they watched movies on TV as well as in theaters, lots of Italian imports. Scorcese, with his narration giving a personal as well as a public context, shows extended clips of these movies. Films of Rossellini and De Sica fill part one; those of Visconti, Fellini, and Antonioni comprise part two. Scorsese takes time with emotion, style, staging, technique, political context, and cinematic influence. It's his movie family.
