This is the first comprehensive documentary about Martin Scorsese, offering a revealing glimpse into his perspective and how he was viewed by his peers in 1977. Filmed during the production of *New York, New York* and the editing of *The Last Waltz*, the film captures Scorsese discussing his early life, his connection to his characters, the creation of *Mean Streets*, and his directing philosophy. While the film's pace doesn't match Scorsese's energetic speaking style, it provides valuable insight into his 1970s work, featuring interviews with collaborators like Jay Cocks, Mardik Martin, Brian De Palma, Steven Prince, and his mentor John Cassavetes, as well as performers including Jodie Foster, Liza Minnelli, and Robert De Niro, who detail their experiences working with him.
