Considering Mr. Scorcese

1–2 minutes

Apple TV+ subscribers now have the opportunity to peer into the complex mind of filmmaker Martin Scorcese in a five-part docuseries.

And readers now have the opportunity to see what Rebecca Miller learned as she made Mr. Scorcese.

“He talks a lot about an obligation to tap into a truth about human beings. And that’s his North Star,” she says. “He’s asking these questions, which are the essential big questions that all religions really ask: What are we, and what is good and evil? The one thing I have noticed about him is that he is very honest with himself as a person, and that is really striking. [It] enables him to look really clear-eyed at the characters that he portrays and give them back to us so that we can see ourselves, for better or worse, in the films.”
