Compilation of Martin Scorsese’s juvenilia, four short films.

The earliest two, both student pictures, show his humour and vitality; the third, The Big Shave, a (literally) cutting allegory about America's self-inflicted wounds in Vietnam, exemplifies Scorsese's fascination with blood and also explains why he grew a beard; the fourth and longest, Italianamerican, is a warm but surprisingly static home movie of his parents' reminiscences. All four films are a reminder that not even the most talented director can achieve much without a decent screenplay.
