“Movies are the memories of our lifetime, we need to keep them alive.”
Martin Scorsese remains cinema’s most influential and shows no signs of slowing down. He’s the subject of an eponymous Hulu documentary that peels back decades to reveal the boy watching Little Italy’s theater through bedroom windows.
The series traces an extraordinary arc through intimate conversations with Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, and luminaries who witnessed genius at work. Isabella Rossellini speaks tenderly of channeling creative fire. Steven Spielberg calls him “a cornerstone of this entire art form.”
His laurels speak volumes: an Academy Award, four BAFTAs, three Emmys, a Grammy, and three Golden Globes. Yet he’s hardly resting on reputation. Upcoming projects span from a Hawaiian crime saga with Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt to Peter Cameron’s haunting What Happens at Night with Jennifer Lawrence, a Sinatra biopic, and adaptations of The Wager and Marilynne Robinson’s Home.
Miller captures what makes him transcendent: that boy at the window never stopped watching, never stopped dreaming. His demons became muses, whispering stories only he could tell — and at 82, they’re still talking.
“Film in the 20th Century, it’s the American art form, like jazz.”
