Finally, a provocative film documentary, 5 January 2001
Author: (taxidriver@nycmail.com) from New Hampshire

Scorsese's documentary on the films that inspired him is one of the best I've seen. If Scorsese's films influence you, then you should watch this documentary. Luckily, there wasn't any censoring of the film clips, which allows the viewer to see, in all their glory, the scenes that a cinematic genius like Martin Scorsese admires. Though the documentary is a bit long, it is split up into appropriate genres like the film director as illusionist or iconoclast. If you admire the films of Martin Scorsese, then viewing this is a must.
