The EYE Film Museum presents an entire exhibition dedicated to director Martin Scorsese!

Director of classics

Martin Scorsese (1942) is the director of classics like Taxi Driver and The Wolf of Wall Street. Films by this unique visionary focus on family, religion and trust. The Italian mafia often plays a prominent role, with debt and retaliation being a recurring theme, as well as violence and the search for spirituality. Scorsese creates characters riddled with fear, betrayal and doubt, often portrayed by star actors like Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio.

This exhibition at the museum will be the first to completely focus on Scorsese and his influence on American cinema.

On show will be a large number of projected film fragments, as well as over 400 personal objects and documents from the private collections of Scorsese and Robert De Niro.

A light will be cast on what inspired Scorsese, and how his personal life and his work influenced each other.

Film programme
