Directed by the award-winning filmmaker Rebecca Miller, Mr. Scorsese, the five-part documentary film portrait, is coming to Apple TV+.
Apple TV+ has announced “Mr. Scorsese,” the five-part film portrait of iconic director, producer and writer Martin Scorsese. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Rebecca Miller (“She Came to Me,” “Personal Velocity”). “Mr. Scorsese” was originated with executive producers Miller and Damon Cardasis at Round Films (“Maggie’s Plan,” “Saturday Church”). And Cindy Tolan (“Étoile,” “Dandelion”), Miller’s long-time creative collaborator.
REBECCA MILLER
“I am so grateful to have been given the artistic freedom and access to create a cinematic portrait of one of our greatest living artists, Martin Scorsese,” said Miller. “His work and life are so vast and so compelling that the piece evolved from one to five parts over a five-year period; crafting this documentary alongside my long-time collaborators has been one of the defining experiences of my life as a filmmaker.”
“Mr. Scorsese” is a film portrait of a man through the lens of his work, exploring the many facets of a visionary who redefined filmmaking, including his extraordinary career and unique personal history. With exclusive, unrestricted access to Scorsese’s private archives, the documentary series is anchored by extensive conversations with the filmmaker himself and never-before-seen interviews with friends, family, and creative collaborators including Robert De Niro, Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo Di Caprio, Mick Jagger, Robbie Robertson, Thelma Schoonmaker, Steven Spielberg, Sharon Stone, Jodie Foster, Paul Schrader, Margot Robbie, Cate Blanchett, Jay Cocks and Rodrigo Prieto, along with his children, wife Helen Morris and close childhood friends. From acclaimed director Rebecca Miller, “Mr. Scorsese” examines how his own colourful life experiences informed his artistic vision as each film he made stunned the world with originality. Starting with his New York University student films through to the present day, this documentary explores the themes that have fascinated Scorsese and informed his work throughout, including the place of good and evil in the fundamental nature of humankind.
