Scorsese on Scorsese is the filmmaker in conversation with his own obsessions — faith, guilt, violence, and redemption — told with the precision of a scholar and the fever of a cinephile. Through interviews and reflections, Scorsese walks us through the making of his films and the inner architecture of his vision: how movies became his moral language. It’s intimate, exacting, and electric with reverence for the medium that saved him.
