"Miller aims to look deeper into Scorsese's soul via interviews with the filmmaker himself, his long-time collaborators and companions like Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Isabella Rossellini, contemporaries like Brian De Palma, Paul Schrader, and Steven Spielberg, and even childhood friends and his three daughters, Catherine, Domenica, and Francesca. Miller weaves their insightful observations and anecdotes about Scorsese at various points in his life with footage from Scorsese's many projects to interrogate the connections between his personal and professional lives,"
"The work of filmmaker and historian Martin Scorsese needs no introduction. The director behind countless iconic and award-winning films like " Taxi Driver," " The Departed," and " The Wolf of Wall Street," has been a part of the American film firmament for over half a century. At the same time, his tireless work preserving and promoting world cinema history is practically unparalleled."
Martin Scorsese has directed iconic, award-winning films and shaped American cinema while preserving world film history. Rebecca Miller created Mr. Scorsese, a five-episode exploration that probes his inner life through interviews with Scorsese, longtime collaborators Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, contemporaries such as Brian De Palma, Paul Schrader and Steven Spielberg, childhood friends, and his daughters Catherine, Domenica and Francesca. Miller intercuts interviews with footage from Scorsese's projects to examine links between his personal experiences and his films. Miller trained at Yale, exhibited visual art and non-verbal films, acted in the early 1990s, premiered her debut feature Angela at Sundance and adapted Personal Velocity from her short stories.
