Movies Are My Life

About This Movie

So, "Movies Are My Life" is this fascinating 1988 documentary that dives deep into the psyche of Martin Scorsese during a pivotal time in his career. You really get a sense of the chaos and creativity, especially as he's juggling post-production on "New York, New York" and editing "The Last Waltz." The film captures Scorsese’s manic energy and his reflections on filmmaking, which makes it quite personal. It’s not just a standard behind-the-scenes look; it feels like you’re eavesdropping on an artist in the throes of inspiration and doubt. The pacing ebbs and flows, allowing moments of introspection that contrast sharply with the frenetic pace of his work. If you're into the nuances of filmmaking and the pressures artists face, this one's worth your time.
