Scorsese's Music
January 13 – April 21
This series surveys the long career of America’s greatest living auteur. Across these fourteen films, director Martin Scorsese uses music in nearly every way imaginable—from striking original scores for Taxi Driver and The Last Temptation of Christ to the jazz, opera, pop, rock, blues, R&B, hip hop, and Latin grooves resounding across films like Mean Streets, GoodFellas, The Departed, and The Wolf of Wall Street.
With special introductions for all screenings about Scorsese’s use of music by Todd Decker, Professor of Music and Film History at Washington University.
