Product Description

Martin Scorsese's Documentary Histories: Migrations Movies Musicis the first comprehensive study of Martin Scorsese's prolific work as a documentary filmmaker. Highlighting the historiographic aims of the director's various non-fiction film video and television productions Mike Meneghetti re-examines Scorsese's documentaries as resourceful audiovisual histories of migrations movies and popular music. Italianamerican's critical immersion in the post-Sixties ethnic revival inaugurates Scorsese's decades-long documentary project in 1974 and the era's developing vernacular of reclamation would shape each of his subsequent non-fiction efforts. Martin Scorsese's Documentary Histories surveys the succeeding films' decisive adherence to this language of retrieval. With extended analyses of Italianamerican American Boy: A Profile of Steven Prince The Last Waltz Shine a Light Feel Like Going Home No Direction Home: Bob Dylan Il mio viaggio in Italia and A Letter to Elia among others Meneghetti resituates Scorsese's filmmaking within the wider contexts of documentary history and American culture.
