Thoughts Prompted by Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets on Its Fiftieth Anniversary
Mean Streets (1973), Martin Scorsese's first masterpiece, adumbrates the style, themes, and subject matter of the great majority of his later works. Stylistically, its interplay of documentary, realistic, neorealist, and expressive elements looks forward to Goodfellas (1990), Taxi Driver (1976), Raging Bull (1980), Casino (1995), and Gangs of New York (2002).
