- Abstract
"Martin Scorsese's Documentary Histories: Migrations, Movies, Music" by Mike Meneghetti explores the often overlooked documentaries of acclaimed filmmaker Martin Scorsese. While Scorsese's narrative films have received extensive analysis, his documentaries have been seen as secondary or preparatory works. Meneghetti argues that Scorsese's documentaries have made significant contributions to the genre and have boosted its international reputation. The book focuses on Scorsese's documentaries related to migration, movies, and music, including "Italianamerican" and "The Last Waltz." Meneghetti provides critical assessments of these films, highlighting their contradictions and influences. Overall, the book fills a gap in the literature on Scorsese and offers a scholarly analysis that will appeal to both film studies students and admirers of Scorsese's work.
