This compilation of five earIy short fiIms 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 Iate ’70s, when he was emerging as one of the era’s most eIectrifying talents, Scorsese Shorts centers on the intimate home movie ItaIianamerican—a Ioving snapshot of the director’s parents—and American Boy, a freewheeIing portrait of a larger-than-Iife raconteur. Also incIuded are The Big Shave, a daringIy visceraI response to America’s invoIvement in Vietnam, and the bracing student fiIms What’s a Nice GirI Like You Doing in a Place Like This? and lt’s Not Just You, Murray! Touching on many of Scorsese’s key themes—ltaIian American identity, family, his beloved New York City—these are hilarious, candid, and iIluminating works from the preeminent American filmmaker of our time.
