Martin Scorsese career
Scorsese emerged as one of the major figures of the New Hollywood era. He has won numerous prestigious awards, including two Directors Guild of America Awards, an Academy Award, four BAFTA Awards, three Emmy Awards, a Grammy Award, and three Golden Globe Awards.
In addition to the BAFTA Fellowship in 2012, he received the Kennedy Center Honor in 2007, the Cecil B. DeMille Award in 2010, the AFI Life Achievement Award in 1997, and the Film Society of Lincoln Center homage in 1998.
The Library of Congress has recognized five of his films as “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” and added them to the National Film Registry.
In 1968, Scorsese graduated with a master’s degree from the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development at New York University.
Who’s That Knocking at My Door (1967), his directorial debut, was chosen for the Chicago Film Festival. In the 1970s and 1980s, Scorsese’s films focused on macho-posing characters and explored criminality, machismo, nihilism, and Catholic notions of guilt and atonement. These films were heavily influenced by Scorsese’s Italian-American ancestry and upbringing in New York City.
His distinctive filmmaking techniques include profanity, super slow motion and freeze frames, and graphic images of extreme violence. His 1973 crime movie Mean Streets served as a model for his subsequent work.
Robert De Niro, who became connected with Scorsese via eight other films including New York, New York (1977), Raging Bull (1980), The King of Comedy (1982), Goodfellas (1990), and Casino (1995), appeared in Scorsese’s 1976 psychological thriller Taxi Driver, which won the Palme d’Or at Cannes.
He achieved box office success in the ensuing decades through a number of partnerships with Leonardo DiCaprio. These movies include The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), Shutter Island (2010), The Aviator (2006), The Departed (2006), and Gangs of New York (2002).
In the 2019 film The Irishman and the 2023 film Killers of the Flower Moon, which also starred Leonardo DiCaprio, he collaborated with De Niro once more.
After Hours (1985), The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), The Age of Innocence (1993), Kundun (1997), Hugo (2011), and Silence (2016) are some of his other motion pictures.
Along with directing movies, Scorsese has also worked as a television director, directing episodes of the HBO series Boardwalk Empire (2011–2015), Vinyl (2016), the HBO documentary Public Speaking (2010), and the Netflix docuseries Pretend It’s a City (2021).
He is also well-known for a number of rock music documentaries, including George Harrison: Living in the Material World (2011), Shine a Light (2008), No Direction Home (2005), and The Last Waltz (1978).
He formed three nonprofit organizations as a supporter of cinema preservation and restoration: the African Cinema Heritage Project in 2017, the World Cinema Foundation in 2007, and the Film Foundation in 1990.
