Roger Ebert wrote the first film review that director Martin Scorsese ever received for 1967 s I Call First, later renamed Who s That Knocking at My Door creating a lasting bond that made him one of Scorsese s most appreciative and perceptive commentators. Scorsese by Ebert offers the first record of America s most respected film critic s engagement with the works of America s greatest living director, chronicling every single feature film in Scorsese s considerable oeuvre, from his aforementioned debut to his 2008 release, the Rolling Stones documentary Shine a Light.In the course of eleven interviews done over almost forty years, the book also includes Scorsese s own insights on both his accomplishments and disappointments. Ebert has also written and included six new reconsiderations of the director s less commented upon films, as well as a substantial introduction that provides a framework for understanding both Scorsese and his profound impact on American cinema."Given their career-long back-and-forth, this collection makes perfect sense. . . . In these reconsiderations, Ebert invites us into his thought processes, letting us see not just what he thinks, but how he forms his opinions. Ebert s insights into Scorsese are terrific, but this book offers the bonus of further insights into Ebert himself." Time Out Chicago"Ebert, film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times, is an unabashed fan of Scorsese, whom he considers the most gifted director of his generation. . . . Of special note are interviews with Scorsese over a 25-year period, in which the director candidly discusses his body of work." Publishers Weekly
