Friday night Martin Scorsese was feted at AFI’s Film Fest in the Chinese Theater. Scorsese has been around long enough that people actually spell his name right now.
He would laugh at that, considering the late great Roger Ebert once spelled his name incorrectly in an early review out of Chicago. Scorsese has teamed with Robert De Niro nine times, that should be a record. (They were introduced by Brian de Palma.) But his editor Thelma Schoonmaker has edited 29 of his films. They began on RAGING BULL, and have stayed together through THE IRISHMAN for Netflix.
“It’s all about trust,” the maestro says. Now listen in and watch the rest…
Here’s Martin Scorsese at his AFI Tribute
Congrats to Mr. Scorsese, long may he shoot films.
