Movie: A Letter to Elia (2010)
Film Synopsis:
Director Martin Scorsese speaks candidly and passionately about one of his formative filmmaking influences: the late Elia Kazan. Utilizing well-chosen clips from Kazans signature films including "by the sea," "A Streetcar Named Desire," "Gentlemans Cet gentleman," "Baby Doll," "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," "A Face in the Crowd," "America, America," and "The Last Tycoon," and a taped interview with the director himself, co-directors Scorsese and Kent Jones chronicles the directors tumultuous journey from group theater to A-list Hollywood to the thickets of the Blacklist. But most importantly, they make a strong case for Kazan as a deeply personal artist working in a notoriously impersonal industry. Uploaded by: Freeman December 14, 2022 at 03:31 am
