Movies touch our hearts and awaken our vision, and change the way we see things. They take us to other places, they open doors and minds. Movies are the memories of our lifetime, we need to keep them alive. – Martin Scorsese
Martin Scorsese is one of American cinema’s great treasures. With a career that’s spanned decades, the kid from the Little Italy section of Manhattan has created his own identifiable language through the art of film. His work, often violent and profane, refuses to be ignored and searches us out – challenging us to look away.
