I really like Scorsese's movies. In front of a camera. The guy is incredibly charming, smart, sharp. What he did, what he do for film history with his film foundation is unmatched and a marvel. His cinema was, *and still is* ground-breaking.

Alas, this TV doc feels like a pr stunt because he need money for his next movies. And that would be OK.

But what transpire of this cut - "he's *really* a enraged sinner with a martyr complex but sometimes quite a saint" -, the unsaid things - how Isabella Rossellini say "he's such a small man" *twice* with a marvellous smile... -, feels at best shallow - not a single DOP or first AD interviewed in 4h45m *with this subject* ? ; "Weinstein was a thug who want to make money"... like a lot of the characters you choose to explore but nobody seems to want to ask him that -, at worst obviously manipulative, like for someone with loads of skeletons in his closet ready to come out in a The New Yorker's long-form piece.

Perhaps I'm mistaken, and I hope so. Perhaps it's just a dull doc. But what Scorsese show us in his movies is this : men are ugly creatures, foremost.
