TWENTY MINUTES with Martin Scorsese. It is both a daunting and a stirring prospect. Nobody else from the generation of American directors that emerged in the early 1970s — think of Francis Ford Coppola, Brian De Palma, Peter Bogdanovich and a dozen others — has retained his dignity as convincingly as has Marty, writes DONALD CLARKE
Recent films such as Gangs of New York, The Aviatorand The Departedmay not be on a par with earlier classics such as Taxi Driveror Raging Bull, but they are good enough to ensure that Scorsese still matters.
