Opis

This book is a study of Martin Scorsese's early career, from his student shorts films to New York, New York.

It is a stimulating demonstration of sustained textual analysis, but also a significant intervention in the debates surrounding film authorship and an examination of the forces that shape films and Scorsese's authorial discourse.
