Martin Scorsese has spent a lifetime capturing the stories of others — gangsters, loners, prophets, and dreamers — but in a rare turn of the lens, Mr. Scorsese will place the legendary filmmaker at the centre of the frame. The five-part documentary series, coming to Apple TV+, is directed by Rebecca Miller, who was granted unprecedented access to Scorsese’s personal and professional archives.
Miller — a director in her own right and daughter of playwright Arthur Miller — spent five years shaping the project, which grew from a single film into a sprawling series. With intimate interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, the series offers a close look at the man behind Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, and The Irishman, tracing his journey from NYU film student to global cinema icon.
The guest list reads like a hall of fame: Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Steven Spielberg, Sharon Stone and even Mick Jagger lend their voices to the portrait, reflecting on Scorsese’s impact on their lives and the industry. We also hear from Scorsese’s family, offering glimpses into the quieter, lesser-known aspects of his life.
Now 83, Scorsese shows no signs of slowing down — and Mr. Scorsese is more than a retrospective. It’s a conversation about legacy, creativity, and what it means to keep telling stories even after you’ve become one yourself.
