This compilation of five early short films by MARTIN SCORSESE (Taxi Driver) offers a fascinating window onto his artistic development. Spanning the years from Scorsese’s time at NYU in the mid-1960s to the Iate ’70s, when he was emerging as one of the era’s most electrifying talents, Scorsese Shorts centers on the intimate home movie Italianamerican—a Ioving snapshot of the director’s parents—and American Boy, a freewheeIing portrait of a larger-than-Iife 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 GirI Like You Doing in a Place Like This? and It’s Not Just You, Murray! Touching on many of Scorsese’s key themes— ItaIian American identity, famiIy, his beIoved New York City—these are hiIarious, candid, and ilIuminating works from the preeminent American filmmaker of our time.
