The Word Made Flesh is an exploration of the thematic concerns and the underlying humanism and morality found in Martin Scorsese's films. It contains individual chapters on fifteen Scorsese films, the most complete Scorsese filmography available, and a host of illustrations.
Generally acknowledged as one of the most important and influential directors of his generation, Scorsese has directed a wide range of films, from documentaries to musicals to comedies to dramas. Although Scorsese has a well-known penchant for violence, as in the films Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and Cape Fear, he is also a master of the character study. The Word Made Flesh is an essential addition to any film collection.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Scarecrow PressISBN-13:9780810835894ISBN-10:0810835894UPC:9780810835894Book Category:Biography & AutobiographyBook Subcategory:Entertainment & Performing ArtsSize:8.46 x 5.82 x 0.48 inchesWeight:0.222Product ID:SCCKEZGCBS
