Martin Scorsese

Martin Scorsese was born in 1942 in Queens, New York, and grew up in Little Italy in a family of Sicilian origin; asthmatic and unable to play sports, he spent his childhood in cinemas and intended to become a priest, but left the minor seminary after a year. A graduate of New York University in 1964, he founded in 1990 an organisation devoted to the restoration of old films and worked for a long time with the editor Thelma Schoonmaker.
