Scorsese On Filmmaking And Faith

Over eight years of profound dialogue with Jesuit theologian Antonio Spadaro, Martin Scorsese reflects on his life, faith, and filmmaking, questioning the very notion of success as he enters his eighties. From his Catholic upbringing in the harsh streets of 1950s New York to his ascent in Hollywood, Scorsese offers a deeply personal self-portrait. Through films like Mean Streets, The Last Temptation of Christ, Silence, and Killers of the Flower Moon, he explores themes of grace, violence, fear, hope, passion, and belief. These intimate conversations reveal a richer understanding of his cinematic vision and spiritual journey.
