Reel Politik, Episode 10 - Martin Scorsese's Ecstatic Truth (Part 2, 1989-2017)

In the second and final part of our disquisition on Martin Scorsese's storied body of work, we discuss his films from 1989 - in which he directed the short film Life Lessons for the anthology New York Stories - to the present day, including his new film Silence, which at least one of us (meaning one of us) has actually seen! We talk about his cameos in other directors' films, his career as a producer, and the role of faith in his work, and we pick some of our favourites from his extensive catalogue, whilst also taking the time to disseminate the propaganda of the Russian state. Marty! Kundun! We still haven't seen it!
