Whew! Scorsese loves New York

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2003)

I'm a history buff, and I am all for accurate recreations. Scorsese has always had the eye for detail - his Age of Innocence is amazing. To be honest, though, I'm not too familiar with his other films. I read the original book in preparation, and wondered how they could get this all into a film. Well, he did it. The written word was mind-boggling, but what Scorsese put on screen was some of the best time-travel (albeit shocking) I have ever experienced. Bravo, Scorsese! Thank you for this fabulous gift!
