Some decent insights and trivia, especially regarding Robert DeNiro's collaborations with the director, but it's fairly long in the tooth, and too many of the essays are just typical analyses of Scorsese's work through the lens of identity politics. There's an interesting picture of a decades long career here, but not enough focus on his actual filmmaking to make it worth the hours.

As a lover of all Scorsese movies this is a brilliant (and free!) insight into the greatest living director.
