Plot: Despite its nearly four-hour running time, this is a uniquely personal look at movies from one of the late 20th century's great directors and film historians. The film consists of head & shoulder shot...( read more read more... )s of Scorsese speaking into the camera for a minute or two, followed by 10-15 minutes of film clips with Scorsese voice-over. Scorsese approaches the films in terms of how they affected him as a director foremost and as a storyteller/film fan second. Segments include "The Director as Smuggler," "The Director as Iconoclast", and so on. The Journey begins with silent masters like D.W. Griffith and ends in 1969 - when Scorsese began to make films; as he says in closing, "I wouldn't feel right commenting on myself or my contemporaries."

    Carving documentary for the long-gone era of silent productions and going up to the newest studio additions of the U.S. industry,Scorsese becomes the host and even if this is an incomplete journey,it brings a sweet smell of success.

    Just give me a list of old movies to watch. Spare me the short clips and Scorsese ego trips. He's a terrible actor. 3.5 hours and they barely scratch the surface!

    This should be required viewing for people with a sincere interest in film. If you can find a print of the dvd, you should snag it quickly. Give yourself 3 hours to view this amazing documentary, you won't regret it.

    Picked this one up in a bargain bucket. The section giving an introduction to early american cinema is interesting and Scorsese's personal perspective makes this worth a watch.

    Look at this as an auto-biographical documentary with some gems of Scorsese's thrown in. If you're a fan of his work you have to see this.

    The perfect film course with one of the most passionate film conniosseurs. A remarkably varied and idiosyncratic collection of film choices. Nearly 4 hours and it could have been twice as long. Marty is the man!
