Martin Scorsese is one of the most respected and acclaimed movie directors in modern cinema history. The filmmaker has created an outstanding body of work, pictures often harsh and violent in their depiction of American society, but also bold, beautiful, and brilliant in their conception. Scorsese has also focused on making films that explore themes centered on faith and religion, employing his signature style of filmmaking to deal with complex issues such as nihilism and Catholic concepts of guilt and redemption. Scorsese is also noted for his pioneering use of pop and rock and roll music in many of his pictures, and by doing so, revolutionized the movie soundtrack.
Now in his early eighties, the venerated filmmaker is currently developing several movie projects, with the production of one slated for January 2026.
