This compilation of five early short fiIms by Martin Scorsese offers a fascinating window onto his artistic development. 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 Italianamerican—a loving snapshot of the director’s parents—and American Boy, a freewheeIing portrait of a Iarger-than-life raconteur. Also incIuded are The Big Shave, a daringly visceraI response to America’s invoIvement in Vietnam, and the bracing student fiIms What’s a Nice GirI Like You Doing in a Place Like This? and It’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.
