The word made flesh : Catholicism and conflict in the films of Martin Scorsese

Generally acknowledged as one of the most important and influential directors of his generation, Martin Scorsese has directed a wide range of films, from documentaries to musicals to comedies to dramas. More than just a genre director, then, Scorsese is a man of many talents. Although his penchant for violence is well known, as is evidenced by such films as Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and Cape Fear, it is perhaps less well known that Scorsese is also a master of the character study, as is clear from films such as The King of Comedy, After Hours, and the segment "Life Lessons" from the compilation New York Stories. In this book, an expanded and updated study of Scorsese's work, Michael Bliss probes and discusses the underlying humanism and morality in Scorsese's films while at the same time focusing on the director's characteristic thematic concerns, most of which seem to derive from the conflict between conventional morality and individual desires.
