Martin Scorsese – The Exhibition: Exploring a Cinematic Master's Vision and Archives

This exhibition honored one of the most significant American film directors, Martin Scorsese, exploring his personal style and the profound influence of his films on modern cinema. It featured key film fragments, over 400 personal objects, documents, and set designs from Scorsese's and Robert De Niro's archives.

In the summer of 2017, Eye Filmmuseum presented 'Martin Scorsese – The Exhibition,' a comprehensive showcase dedicated to one of the most important American film directors of the past half-century. The exhibition delved into Scorsese's uniquely personal filmmaking style, which has captivated audiences for decades with classics such as _Taxi Driver_, _Raging Bull_, and _The Wolf of Wall Street_. It highlighted how his films, often exploring themes of family, religion, guilt, and punishment rooted in his Italian immigrant upbringing in New York's Little Italy, have profoundly influenced modern American cinema. The exhibition featured extensive personal materials, including over 400 objects and documents such as photographs, scripts, and storyboards, many of which were exhibited for the first time and sourced directly from the personal archives of Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro. It also included key film fragments projected on large screens, set designs by Dante Ferretti, costume designs by Sandy Powell, and original set photos by Brigitte Lacombe. Additional elements included scenes from Scorsese's documentaries, audio commentary from Scorsese and editor Thelma Schoonmaker, and a dedicated section on music, a pivotal element in his filmography, exploring his collaborations with composers like Bernard Herrmann and Philip Glass, as well as his music documentaries. The exhibition was structured around recurring themes in Scorsese's work, such as Family, Brothers, Men and Women, Lonely Heroes, New York, Cinema, Cinematography, Editing, and Music.
