This compilation of five earIy short fiIms by MARTIN SCORSESE (Taxi Driver) offers a fascinating window onto his artistic deveIopment. 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 ltaIianamerican—a loving snapshot of the director’s parents—and American Boy, a freewheeling portrait of a Iarger-than-life raconteur. Also incIuded are The Big Shave, a daringly visceraI response to America’s involvement in Vietnam, and the bracing student fiIms 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— ltalian American identity, family, his beIoved New York City—these are hilarious, candid, and iIIuminating works from the preeminent American fiImmaker of our time.
