The first reference work of its kind, this book contains contributions from influential scholars in North America and Europe. The essays use a variety of analytic approaches to study numerous aspects of Scorsese’s work, from his earliest films to his place within the history of American and world cinema. They consider his work in relation to auteur theory, the genres in which he has worked, his use of popular music, and his recent involvement with film preservation. Several of the essays offer fresh interpretations of some of Scorsese’s most influential films, including \u003ci\u003eMean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, GoodFellas, Gangs of New York, Hugo,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Irishman\u003c\/i\u003e. Others take a broader approach and discuss the representation of violence, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, gender, race, and other themes across his work. With insights that will interest film scholars as well as movie enthusiasts, this is an important contribution to the scholarship of contemporary American cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Artistic Solutions to Sociological Problems 1\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAaron Baker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One The Pious Auteur 15\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 How Scorsese Became Scorsese: A Historiography of New Hollywood’s Most Prestigious Auteur 17\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMarc Raymond\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Smuggling Iconoclasm: European Cinema and Scorsese’s Male Antiheroes 38\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eGiorgio Bertellini and Jacqueline Reich\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Italian Films, New York City Television, and the Work of Martin Scorsese 53\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eLaura E.
