I'm easily won over when a new Abrams publication comes on the market dealing with cinema. You know you are going to get a beautiful treatment and this one is no exception with a top notch retrospective on the career of the ever present personality of Martin Scorsese. This book is worth purchasing alone just for the oodles of terrific photos from the memorable films in Scorsese's illustrious career but even more so for the fascinating array of behind the scenes and candid shots. Very much liked the coverage of Scorsese's "Little Italy" background and his early films and author Tom Shone has written an easy to read, excellent text. I did have one grumble: the author discussed Elmer Bernstein's music for "Cape Fear" but in fact Mr. Bernstein adapted and arranged the original classic Bernard Herrmann score from the 1962 film (and in my opinion, much better version!) and this was clearly acknowledged by all during production and when the soundtrack album was released.
A great document! The most fascinating american film director alive. Scorsese is the most passionate image creator of our times, no mater how many revolucionary filmmakers come and god! Coppola is another one of that breed, and an underrated one. Great work on this one.
Beautifully written and superb production
Great coffee table book with cool photos.
Gift to my son. He loves it!
