Supoib. No one but a great filmmaker could pull off something like this. It amazes me that something this substantial, this perpetually meaningful and fascinating, was edited from what appears to be a single visit by Scorsese to his parents. Catherine and Charles don't look like documentary subjects "acting natural" in front of a camera, but instead appear to be spectacularly playing themselves. Their stories about their childhood and immigrant parents are immensely valuable.

Gostei muito desse documentário/entrevista do Scorsese, muito bacana a idéia de entrevistar os próprios pais, ambos contam estórias interessantes e são bem carismáticos, especialmente a Mama Scorsese. Enfim, recomendo com certeza!

Wow, this is such an interesting little movie. Marty's parents are great subjects.

Perhaps with a less famous director, this wouldn't have been as successful, but as a total whore for Martin Scorsese, I found this very interesting - my general interest in Italian film and culture certainly didn't hurt either. It's actually quite charming to listen to Scorsese's parents talk about their childhoods and their families growing up in Italy and New York, and at 45 minutes, the film doesn't overstay its welcome. A minor entry in Scorsese's canon, but well worth a look.

The second of Scorsese's roundtable discussion documentaries. Unfortunately, unlike Steven Prince, I didn't find the Scorsese folks intriguing enough to hold my interest for the full fifty minutes. They seem like nice people, but this wasn't any better than listening to my own grandparents tell stories.

I generally love Scorsese films but this is as boring as hell
