Audience Member A very touching tribute from Marty to Elia Kazan. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I think I saw this on TCM a few years back. It is also included in The Elia Kazan Collection DVD box set. Scorsese hosts this love letter to the cinematic legacy of Kazan. Elia Kazan started in theatre as an actor and developed into a Broadway director before being called to Hollywood. Scorsese talks personally about growing up and seeing Kazan's movies with characters and locations that were familiar to fellow New Yorker Scorsese. Lots of clips from the films included in the DVD collection are shared. This doc touches upon the House UnAmerican Activities Committee hearings, but is not as much about Kazan's biography as his films influence on Scorsese.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Scorsese provides a mix between analysis of the films and a telling of his personal relationship to the films. Though most of the very short documentary seems like a re-telling of East of Eden, there are some heartfelt moments and interesting tidbits sprinkled throughout. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A brilliant, moving & personal look at the films & the film makers that inspired Martin Scorsese. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Indulgent documentary that serves to raise the profile of one Martin Scorsese's directorial influences. Good if you like seeing clips of classic films. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
