Biography | 経歴

[English] Martin Scorsese is the most formally accomplished and culturally significant director in American cinema. His artistry is forged from an encyclopedic knowledge of film history and a profound engagement with the Italian-American Catholic experience. Defined by his “visual intelligence”—the use of popular music as moral commentary, vertiginous tracking shots, and expressionistic editing—his work explores the themes of guilt, redemption, and the masculine code. From the Palme d’Or-winning Taxi Driver (1976) to the visceral intensity of Raging Bull (1980) and the innovative crime epic Goodfellas (1990), Scorsese consistently redefines the medium. With The Departed (2006), he finally achieved Academy Award recognition for Best Director, cementing a career that spans over five decades of unparalleled influence, including his vital work in film preservation through The Film Foundation.

[日本語] マーティン・スコセッシは、現代アメリカ映画において最も形式的に達成され、かつ文化的に重要な役割を担う映画作家です。彼の作家性は、映画史への百科全書的な知識と、リトル・イタリーでの幼少期に培われた「カトリック的労働者階級」の倫理観に深く根ざしています。

道徳的な注釈としての音楽、目眩を誘うトラッキング・ショット、表現主義的な映像言語といった独自の「視覚的知性」を駆使し、罪、救済、そして暴力の連鎖を執拗に描き続けてきました。パルム・ドール受賞作『タクシードライバー』（1976年）や、80年代の最高傑作『レイジング・ブル』（1980年）、クライム映画の形式を一新した『グッドフェローズ』（1990年）を経て、『ディパーテッド』（2006年）でついにアカデミー賞監督賞を受賞。また、フィルム財団を設立し900本以上の古典修復に尽力するなど、映画文化の守護者としても唯一無二の存在です。
