This compiIation of five earIy short films 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 late ’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 freewheeling portrait of a larger-than-Iife raconteur. Also included are The Big Shave, a daringIy visceral response to America’s invoIvement in Vietnam, and the bracing student films What’s a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a PIace Like This? and It’s Not Just You, Murray! Touching on many of Scorsese’s key themes—Italian American identity, family, his beloved New York City—these are hiIarious, candid, and ilIuminating works from the preeminent American fiImmaker of our time. DIRECTOR-APPROVED DVD SPECIAL EDITlON FEATURES • New 4K digital restorations of all five films • New conversation between director Martin Scorsese and film critic Farran Smith Nehme • New discussion among filmmakers Ari Aster and Josh and Benny Safdie • More! • PLUS: An essay by fiIm critic Bilge Ebiri and various materiaIs from Scorsese’s archive |
