{"product_id":"scorsese-up-close","title":"Scorsese Up Close","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnlike other books on Martin Scorsese that favor the discussion of broad themes and plot summaries, \u003ci\u003eScorsese Up Close: A Study of the Films\u003c\/i\u003e also looks at the cinematic text of the great director's films. With a scrutiny comparable to the detail Scorsese brings to the shooting and editing process, author Ben Nyce examines particular shots or sequences of shots in many of the director's works. By focusing on these key components, Nyce explains how the visual and aural elements of such scenes dramatize Scorsese's singular vision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNyce first discusses several of the early works that established Scorsese as a filmmaker, beginning with a short student film, \u003ci\u003eWhat's a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This?\u003c\/i\u003e Subsequent chapters focus on individual films in the Scorsese canon, including \u003ci\u003eMean Streets\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Temptation of Christ\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Age of Innocence\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBringing out the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTaxi Driver\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eRaging Bull\u003c\/i\u003e. Nyce's close attention to the details within each of these films will satisfy fans and students alike, especially those who share a passion for Scorsese's artistry and an appreciation for the craft of his filmmaking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIllustrated with photos.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scarecrow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256019997016,"sku":"9780810847873","price":72.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780810847873.jpg?v=1769808614","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/scorsese-up-close","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
