A Steady Diet of Film

Why on earth would Martin Scorsese be in North Carolina?

Scorsese Says Films Rooted in Realism

A lovely article about Full Frame Documentary film festival in Durahm, NC last weekend, and a bit about Scorsese himself. But when I got to this:

Scorsese said he plans to make another documentary — a film about Bob Dylan that explores the question of whether folk music can be electrified and commercialized.

In two weeks, he will begin production on his next feature movie, "The Departed," starring Leonardo DiCaprio as a Boston police officer who infiltrates Irish-American gangs.

"This is the first present-day film I've made in 20 years," Scorsese said.


I had to say, what about Bringing Out the Dead, made only 16 years ago! This must be what fangirl shame feels like.
