Martin Scorsese, In His Own Words
This compilation gathers decades of Martin Scorsese's interviews into one continuous listen — arranged to flow gently from the early years to the late reflections, easy to put on in the background while you work, study, or drive.
What's Inside This Compilation
Martin Scorsese has spent six decades turning a childhood spent watching movies from an asthmatic kid's bedroom in Little Italy into the deepest film education most of us will ever get secondhand. These interviews trace that arc — from NYU film school and the breakthrough of Mean Streets, through Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, GoodFellas, Casino, The Departed, The Wolf of Wall Street, and The Irishman.
What holds five hours together is the same thing that holds a Scorsese film together: momentum. He talks in run-on sentences full of tangents — a scene in The Searchers leads to a story about his father, which leads to a technical note on editing rhythm — the same restless, encyclopedic energy he's brought to sets with Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio for fifty years. It's a master class delivered the way he actually talks.
Why Listen for Hours?
Because that's when it stops being an interview and becomes company. Longform Cinema Club builds every compilation for the long stretches of life — the overnight drive, the deep work session, the long run, the quiet hour before bed. Nothing jolts you. Press play and let the conversation carry you.
