Stern has written a daringly innovative book on the work of Martin Scorsese, the most important contemporary filmmaker in North America. Her vivid account invites the reader to enter into a liminal world where texts, films and personal subjectivity freely mix. She explores two main avenues- the way Scorsese remakes other movies (Raging Bull replas The Red Shoes, Taxi Driver triggers a resurgence of The Searchers) and the way we, as viewers, absorb and make sense 'with' films rather than of them, using our sense of touch and smell as well as our ears and eyes. |
