Martin Scorsese's film journey is dissected in a newly revised book.
As a teenager growing up in a tight-knit Italian community in the Bronx, New York, Martin Scorsese had two obsessions: religion and the movies. So, it wasn’t surprising that the two places he seemed to visit most were the nearby St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral and Loew’s Theatre. He even started on a career path to becoming a priest.
Not surprisingly, Kelly spends many pages on the link between film and religion, as Scorsese uses Catholic imagery, themes, and references throughout his filmography, and sometimes in the least likely places, often tied violent imagery and less-than-holy characters.
