The Scorsese Connection

Front Cover
Indiana University Press, 1995 - Performing Arts - 257 pages

Martin Scorsese's films ignite connections, illuminating memories and moments from other movie-going experiences. This daring book explores the way he "remakes" other movies ( Raging Bull replays The Red Shoes; Taxi Driver mirrors The Searchers) and how we absorb and make sense of these films.
