The Passion of Martin Scorsese : A Critical Study of the Films, Paperback / softback Book

The Passion of Martin Scorsese : A Critical Study of the Films Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

From his earliest shorts to his recent feature lms The Departed and Shutter Island, this book offers an in-depth analysis of the deepest archetypal themes, symbols, and structures in Martin Scorsese's entire body of work.

It examines each of Scorsese's lms as a mythological journey through which the main character is offered an opportunity for psychological and spiritual enlightenment, focusing especially on how each character is led to recognize, accept, and embrace his or her awed traits.

The book also explores the ways in which Scorsese's lms incite extreme reactions and strike deep chords among his viewers, particularly by speaking the language of the unconscious and forcing readers to examine their own hidden aws.
