Spanning the years from Scorsese’s time at NYU in the mid-1960s to the late ’70s, when he was emerging as one of the era’s most electrifying talents, Scorsese Shorts centers on the intimate home movie Italianamerican—a loving snapshot of the director’s parents—and American Boy, a freewheeling portrait of the larger-than-life raconteur Steven Prince. Also included are The Big Shave, a daringly visceral response to America’s involvement in Vietnam, and the bracing student films What’s a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This? and It’s Not Just You, Murray! Touching on many of Scorsese’s key themes—Italian American identity, family, his beloved New York City—these are hilarious, candid, and illuminating works from the pre­eminent American filmmaker of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirector-Approved Blu-ray Special Edition Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew 4K digital restorations of all five films, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks · New conversation between director Martin Scorsese and film critic Farran Smith Nehme · New discussion among filmmakers Ari Aster and Josh and Benny Safdie · Public-radio interview from 1970 with Scorsese PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by film critic Bilge Ebiri and storyboards, treatments, and correspondence from Scorsese's archive.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"The CineVault","offers":[{"title":"USED","offer_id":50041168953621,"sku":"SCORSESE-SHORTS-BLU-RAY-2020-USED","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/3098\/4213\/files\/lFPWQiV1BAFROuJgLUSrFq9I1W.jpg?v=1784169533","url":"https:\/\/thecinevault.com\/products\/scorsese-shorts-blu-ray-2020","provider":"The CineVault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
