Editorial Reviews:

Synopsis:

From one of the world's most acclaimed directors comes an absorbing and informative look at the evolution of American film and how the medium both shaped Scorsese's own artistic vision and influenced the whole of American culture. Hundreds of film stills, many in color, plus dialogue, quotations, and other sources add to and illustrate each chapter's overriding theme.

Review:

"[Scorsese's narrative] includes archival interviews with directors, extracts and stills from the films discussed and his own commentary. While the stills are superb, the context is often wanting. 'Movies', Scorsese concludes, 'fulfill a spiritual need that people have to share a common memory'."
