Scorsese Shorts

“I've heard that Criterion have released some of Scorsese's early shorts. Now, in the shorts is a short film that stars Scorsese's mother. She plays Tommy's mother in Goodfellas and in Scorsese Shorts, which is right here, we get a very early glimpse of Scorsese's work with his mum.”

“I got to get Scorsese Shorts, talking about directors that have influenced my life.”

“I asked when I came in if you had Scorsese Shorts. The Big Shave is such a brilliant and radical short in his political subversion and all that he has always said with his films. And of course, the performances mean everything. But if you want to see great actresses, soon Criterion is bringing us Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, working on it now with Scorsese. It’s the best female performances ever, including my beloved mom, Diane Ladd. So everyone must see Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, one of my favorite Scorsese films.”

“I see you have Scorsese Shorts here. Big Shave, amazing. You don’t really need a traditional narrative to send a message. Martin Scorsese learned that early on, and we’re all still trying to catch up and figure that out, too.”

“[Translated] And... Martin Scorsese I've never seen this one before. I'll have to watch it when I get back. This is my favorite director. He's like a god. He's the... He's my mentor. My teacher.”

“Scorsese Shorts. I’m going to have to grab that. I’ve seen The Big Shave, but I haven’t seen the other ones, so that’s pretty exciting.”
