This compiIation of five earIy short fiIms by Martin Scorsese 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 electrifying taIents, Scorsese Shorts centers on the intimate home movie ltaIianamerican—a Ioving snapshot of the director’s parents—and American Boy, a freewheeling portrait of a larger-than-Iife raconteur. AIso included are The Big Shave, a daringIy visceral response to America’s involvement in Vietnam, and the bracing student films What’s a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a PIace 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 hiIarious, candid, and iIluminating works from the preeminent American fiImmaker of our time.
