Scorsese on Scorsese Reviews

In this very personal book [Scorsese] explains just what drives him.-The Daily Express

Revealing and personal... A book that is part autobiography, part film production 101. Gripping, beautifully detailed and fascinating throughout, it's a monograph equivalent of a Scorsese film itself.-Dazed and Confused

Scorsese's [...] dedicated personal vision is brought to life via a series of interview with author Michael Henry Wilson [...] alongside a welter of hand-drawn storyboards, annotated scripts, production notes and on-set photography... Also reads as a veritable of who's-who of cinema.-Daily Telegraph

Riveting... Packs a one-two punch... Movie geeks will love this book.-Wired.com

One of Hollywood's greatest filmmakers discusses not only his own films but also the ones that have inspired him in this impressive collection.-Entertainment Weekly

The definitive illustrated volume on one of cinema's all-time greats, it's a must for any film buff.-Urban Daddy

About Michael Henry Wilson

Based in Los Angeles, Michael Henry Wilson is a filmmaker and film historian. He is a regular contributor to the magazine Positif and has published many books, including A personal journey with Martin Scorsese through American movies (1997). His two passions - cinema and history - come together in his screenplays (Alan Rudolph's Investigating Sex, 2001) and his own films (In Search Of Kundun, 1998). After completing an intimate portrait of Eastwood in Clint Eastwood, A Life In Film (2007), he made The Challenge of Reconciliation (2009), a film devoted to Nelson Mandela and the transformation of South Africa, in which Eastwood himself plays a key role.
