Martin Scorsese

Martin Scorsese (b. 1942) is an American filmmaker whose work has shaped modern crime drama and personal cinema alike. Emerging from the New Hollywood era with Mean Streets and Taxi Driver, he developed a style marked by kinetic camera movement, voiceover, and an unflinching look at violence, guilt, and redemption. Films such as Raging Bull, Goodfellas, The Departed, and The Irishman explore power, faith, and moral consequence within tightly constructed worlds. Alongside his features, Scorsese remains a dedicated advocate for film preservation, treating cinema as both art form and cultural memory.
