Marty's Folks

Shamefully underrated, Martin Scorsese’s excellent, entertaining and touching documentary “Italianamerican“ shows the filmmaker visiting his parents, colorful, passionate Catherine and stern, quiet Charles. An exploration of Italian immigrants in New York in general and the Scorsese household in particular, check it out at the Arsenal cinema where it gets a rare big-screen projection (together with the director’s equally awesome “American Boy“).
