Overview
- In episode three of Rebecca Miller's five-part docuseries, Rossellini says Scorsese "could get really angry" during their 1979–1982 marriage.
- She emphasizes he never struck her but could "demolish a room," recalling a friend who filmed an outburst that later shocked him.
- Rossellini frames that rage as a source of stamina that helped him finish demanding films like Raging Bull and The King of Comedy.
- On camera, Scorsese says he was unable to edit The King of Comedy due to personal problems and credits a doctor five days a week, with weekend calls, plus strong medication for getting him through.
- The series, now streaming on Apple TV, also includes reflections from his older daughters about a father who was not always physically available during his early career.
