The BFI podcast #2 - Martin Scorsese in his own words, part 2

Part two of our special double episode on an American indie cinema heavyweight, Martin Scorsese. This episode we hear how Robert De Niro pigged out to play Raging Bull's Jake La Motta, why Scorsese angered Lorraine Bracco by pretending to be her on the set of Goodfellas and how Scorsese and one of his closest confidantes - editor Thelma Schoonmaker - have managed to keep working together for over 40 years. The British Film Institute's podcast is an audio adventure through the BFI's archives. Each fortnight host Henry Barnes will be joined by a special guest to dig into their cinematic passion, be it a director, a genre, a franchise or a meme. This week, BFI Southbank chief programmer Geoff Andrew joins us again for part two of our Marty party. This episode contains short clips from the following: - Raging Bull.
