Library Synopsis
In the last part of Martin Scorsese's history of cinema, he examines film- makers who hid subversive or dangerous ideas within their movies, such as Nicholas Ray's BIGGER THAN LIFE and Orson Welles' CITIZEN KANE. With many of the battles for censorship now won, Scorsese reflects on the final frontiers of creative freedom still to be overcome.
