Mr. Scorsese

Mr. Scorsese is a five-part documentary series directed by Rebecca Miller that examines Martin Scorsese’s life and career through his own reflections, private archives, and conversations with those who know his work well. The series traces his path from childhood in New York and early filmmaking at New York University to the films and collaborations that built his reputation, such as Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and his later work with Leonardo DiCaprio. Rather than presenting Scorsese solely as a director, the documentary links his family background, Catholic upbringing, friendships, creative partnerships, and personal experiences to recurring themes in his films.

Robert De Niro, Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Steven Spielberg, Mick Jagger, Thelma Schoonmaker, Sharon Stone, Jodie Foster, Paul Schrader, Margot Robbie, Cate Blanchett, Jay Cocks, Rodrigo Prieto, and members of Scorsese’s family share interviews and memories. Every episode explores a different phase of his journey, from his formative years and hardships to his breakthrough period, international controversies, later achievements, and ongoing reinvention. The outcome is a portrait spanning his entire career, centered on filmmaking, memory, collaboration, and Scorsese’s enduring connection to cinema.
