In ‘Mr. Scorsese,’ fitting a filmmaking titan into the frame
Can one documentary encapsulate the life of Martin Scorsese? In the case of โMr. Scorsese,โ Rebecca Millerโs portrait of the filmmaker, no. What began as a two-hour film grew into a five-hour series for Apple TV+. Over the course of five years, Miller spent 20 hours interviewing Scorsese, while also speaking to his collaborators, friends and family to make the definitive documentary about one of the greatest living filmmakers. โMr. Scorseseโ debuts Friday on Apple TV+. It features Scorsese collaborators like editor Thelma Schoonmaker, Paul Schrader, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio and Daniel Day-Lewis. It also includes Scorseseโs children, his ex-wives and his old Little Italy pals.
