The penultimate director I researched was Martin Scorsese, one of the most significant filmmakers of all time. He is part of the New Hollywood wave of filmmaking; in 1990 he founded The Film Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to film preservation and in 2007 he founded The World Cinema Foundation.
Scorsese's body of work is amazingly impressive and addresses themes such as Italian-American identity, machismo, modern crime and many more. A lot of his films are notable for their use of violence and liberal use of profanity; The Wolf of Wall Street holds the record for the most uses of the 'f-word' in a mainstream non-documentary film at 569 uses!
Scorsese has directed many landmark films such as 'Taxi Driver', 'Goodfellas', 'Cape Fear', 'Raging Bull', 'Mean Streets' and more. 'The Departed' got him his first Best Director Academy Award and with 8 nominations for the award, he is currently the most nominated director alive today.
He is well-known for working with actors such as Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio.
