Scorsese on Filmmaking and Faith

release date: Oct 30, 2025
Scorsese on Filmmaking and Faith
''Have I succeeded, in my own life? I don''t know. I don''t think so. I''m in my eighties now and I just don''t know. But then, maybe "success" is the wrong way of framing it. You just try, and when you fail, you keep trying.'' Over the course of eight years, Martin Scorsese and Jesuit theologian Antonio Spadaro discussed filmmaking and faith. From his Catholic upbringing amidst the brutality of 1950s New York to the heights of Hollywood, Scorsese sketches a unique self-portrait. And from Mean Streets to Killers of the Flower Moon - and especially the spiritual reckonings of The Last Temptation of Christ and Silence - he grants readers a new understanding of his films. Reflecting on grace and violence, fear and hope, passion and belief, these rich and intimate conversations offer a remarkable insight into the director''s life and work.

Conversas Sobre a Fé

release date: Oct 01, 2024
Conversas Sobre a Fé
No dia 3 de março de 2016, em Nova lorque, o Padre Antonio Spadaro encontrou-se com Martin Scorsese em sua casa para discutir Silêncio, filme que o realizador italo-americano dedicou à perseguição aos jesuítas no Japão, e a sua relação com a fé. Aquela conversa inicial, rica em estímulos e sugestões para ambos, gerou um diálogo que se mantém até hoje. Através de vários encontros, abordam temas caros a Scorsese: desde a sua infância numa Nova lorque muito diferente daquela que conhecemos agora, até ao seu recente e belíssimo filme Assassinos da Lua das Flores, aprofundando reflexões sobre a fé e a graça que, mais ou menos subtilmente, emergem das suas obras. Entre os frutos do seu diálogo está também o encontro histórico entre o Papa Francisco e Scorsese, e a escrita, por este último, de um guião inicial para um filme dedicado à vida de Jesus, em resposta a um apelo do Papa aos artistas. Nestas páginas, Spadaro e Scorsese revisitam a carreira do realizador vencedor de um Óscar, os seus pensamentos sobre a fé, os seus medos e inspirações, oferecendo um novo e inédito retrato de uma das principais figuras contemporâneas da sétima arte.

Conversations on Faith

release date: Nov 04, 2025
Conversations on Faith
A new and original work from the legendary Martin Scorsese, in which he and Father Antonio Spadaro discuss the visionary director''s relationship to faith throughout his life. When Jesuit father Antonio Spadaro and Martin Scorsese first sat down together in Scorsese''s home, neither could have predicted the depth of the conversation, intellectual exchange, or friendship that would result. While discussing the acclaimed director''s film Silence, about the persecution of Jesuits in Japan, they began a dialogue about cinema, life and faith that continues to this day. From his Italian-American upbringing as a Catholic in New York to the meditations on religion, belief, and the divine found in his filmography, Scorsese''s relationship to his faith has touched every aspect of his life and work. In their often-profound conversations, he and Father Spadaro have left no stone unturned, discussing this relationship along with everything from Scorsese''s childhood to the concept of the soul. And as a result of their long friendship and communication, Scorsese met with Pope Francis. Readers will gain new insight into one of the most famous directors of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in these honest, moving, and ultimately inspiring CONVERSATIONS ON FAITH.

Martin Scorsese : entretiens avec Michael Henry Wilson

release date: Jan 01, 2005
Martin Scorsese : entretiens avec Michael Henry Wilson
Les entretiens de Michael Henry Wilson avec Martin Scorsese, commencés dès ses premiers films en 1974, sont devenus un rituel auquel rien ne déroge. Au fil du temps, la conversation devient dialogue de plus en plus approfondi ; la confiance est palpable dans la densité des échanges d''idées tant sur les films que sur les projets ou le sens général d''une œuvre qui s''élabore. Les chapitres restituent la chronologie de ces rencontres et couvrent toute la filmographie de Scorsese, des premiers films avec Robert de Niro, jusqu''à son documentaire sur Bob Oylan et The Departed dont il vient de terminer le tournage. La qualité des propos et le caractère systématique des rendez-vous confèrent à l''ensemble une grande qualité littéraire et le mouvement d''un récit, celui de la création d''une œuvre par l''artiste lui-même. Pour le jeune Martin Scorsese, tout commença au troisième étage d''un immeuble d''Elizabeth Street, au cœur de Little Italy, le quartier des Italo-Américains. Mais de Little Italy à New York, de New York à l''Amérique, le cercle n''a cessé de s''agrandir, comme la gamme de s''étendre : de Mean Streets en Casino, de Raging Suit au Temps de l''innocence, du solipsisme de Taxi Driver à la compassion d''A tombeau ouvert, Scorsese passe du " je ", au " nous ", d''illuminations singulières aux multiples facettes du melting pot, de la chronique semi-autobiographique à de vastes tableaux qui déploient dans toute leur complexité notre comédie humaine. Si ses créatures sont possédées, et parfois anéanties, par leur passion, Scorsese a su canaliser la sienne dans une œuvre qui continue de s''élargir, jusqu''à embrasser toute la mémoire du monde. Il ne s''est sans doute pas libéré de ses obsessions, mais il a appris à les tenir à distance en les transférant sur des personnages de fiction. Comme le dit si bien le peintre d''Apprentissages (Nick Nolte) : - On crée parce qu''on ne peut pas faire autrement. - La folie scorsesienne est à la fois élection et malédiction. Elle est le prix que doit payer celui qui s''adonne sans frein à son art. L''œuvre ne s''accomplit pas en dépit de cette folie, mais à cause d''elle. Chaque film est un rite de conjuration. Pour illustrer ces propos, Scorsese a ouvert ses archives personnelles avec la plus grande générosité : notes, dessins, manuscrits, story-boards, photos de famille ou de plateau, tout document pouvant éclairer ses trente ans de conversations avec Wilson. Une biofilmographie complète cette riche iconographie.

Мартин Скорсезе
"Роджер Эберт - культовый американский кинокритик, первый обладатель Пулитцеровской премии в области художественной критики."Мартин Скорсезе: ретроспектива" - книга, которая должна быть в библиотеке каждого любителя кинематографа. Дело не только в ее герое - легендарном режиссере Мартине Скорсезе, лидере "Нового Голливуда" в 70-е и патриархе мирового кино сейчас, но и в не менее легендарном авторе. Эберт и Скорсезе оба родились в Нью-Йорке, ходили в католическую школу и были очарованы кино. Возможно, именно эти факторы сыграли важную роль в интуитивном понимании Эбертом ключевых мотивов и идей творчества знаменитого режиссера. В книгу вошли рецензии Роджера Эберта на фильмы Мартина Скорсезе, а также интервью и беседы критика и режиссера, в которых они рефлексируют над дилеммой работы в американском кинематографе и жизни с католическим воспитанием - главными темами в судьбах двух выдающихся представителей кино. Первое издание книги Роджера Эберта на русском языке." --
