Review Quotes:
"This book makes a contribution to film studies through its examination of the filmmaker Martin Scorsese, specifically by covering Scorsese films, television programs, music videos, and TV commercials that have been largely ignored by critics and/or film audiences. It shines a light on the minor works of a major filmmaker and is representative of the ongoing interest in authorship in film studies." --Constantine Verevis, Associate Professor, Monash University, Melbourne
"This collection provides a novel perspective on Martin Scorsese's wide-ranging work as a filmmaker. Its most perceptive contributions are focused on Scorsese's frequently overlooked television commercials and short films, persuasively demonstrating the importance of these productions to our understanding of the director's substantial contemporary influence. Scholarly yet accessible, Neglected Scorsese will appeal to readers interested in Scorsese's lesser-known output, the study of authorship in cinema, and commercial film and television production in America today." --Mike Meneghetti, author of Martin Scorsese's Documentary Histories: Migrations, Movies, Music (2021) "Thoughtful and quietly provocative, Neglected Scorsese invites readers to look again, and to recognise that even in a career as celebrated as Scorsese's, some of the most illuminating work happens off-centre." --Voice Magazine
