From \u003ci\u003eAfter Hours\u003c\/i\u003e (1985) and \u003ci\u003eNew York Stories\u003c\/i\u003e (1989) to \u003ci\u003eIl Mio Viaggio \u003c\/i\u003e(1999), \u003ci\u003e The Age of Innocence \u003c\/i\u003e(1993), and \u003ci\u003eThe Aviator\u003c\/i\u003e (2004), \u003ci\u003eNeglected Scorsese\u003c\/i\u003e reclaims the director's less-appreciated works, giving them the respect and attention they deserve.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eScorsese is one of the finest directors in film history. Of all New Hollywood directors, he remains the most active, the most indispensable, the most \"new,\" not only changing with the times, but changing the times through the magnitude of his work. Without Scorsese's gangster films, the global gangster genre would not be the same, nor anywhere near as accomplished and without his filmography, the entirety of American cinema would be greatly diminished. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe purpose of this book is not about bringing more attention to Scorsese the director or to his most notable films. Rather, it argues that Scorsese's lengthy career has produced individual works that have been neglected, even while others have been lauded. 'Neglected' in this collection is defined as those Scorsese films that were underappreciated by mainstream critics, by mainstream audiences, by scholars, or by any combination of the three. Further, the book's focus goes beyond feature films, as Scorsese has directed shorts, music videos, television programs, and TV commercials. There is intrinsic value in these film forms, just as there is value in the analysis of those Scorsese directed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhillip Sipiora \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of English and Film Studies at the University of South Florida, USA.
