Born and raised in the Italian neighborhoods of New York, Martin
Scorsese brings a blistering, visceral intensity to his gritty
portraits of obsessives from all walks of life, be they boxers,
gangsters, or taxi drivers. Drenched in both physical and emotional
violence, with a keen eye toward pop culture, Scorsese's films
often feature larger-than-life characters on a dizzying, intoxicating
path to self-destruction. Always provocative, Martin
Scorsese never flinches from taking audiences on an unforgettable
tour of the darkest regions of the human soul, which usually winds
its way through the mean streets of New York. And though known
primarily as the leading chronicler of wise-guy gangster politics,
Martin
Scorsese has balanced his bloody, streetwise films with more
quiet, personal projects, including both costume dramas and spiritual
biographies. Martin
Scorsese films include
Taxi Driver
Raging Bull
Goodfellas
Mean Streets
The King of Comedy
The Last Temptation of Christ
Cape Fear
The Age of Innocence
Casino
Kundun
