On Scorcese
I am really looking forward to Shutter Island — the next ‘big’ Scorcese film. It promises to be a little different from his previous works as well, which has me more curious than doubtful:
What makes “Shutter Island” feel so peculiar for this director to have made isn’t the troubled protagonist, or the detective-movie plot mechanics. It’s the claustrophobia, the tight, hermetic, locked-down structure that’s so unusual for Mr. Scorsese, whose films are generally a lot more expansive.
