Overview

• In the first episode of Mr. Scorsese, the 82-year-old recalls a preparatory seminary on 85th Street where he lasted only a few months.
• Scorsese says the seminary asked his father to withdraw him after he realized he didn't belong there and "behaved badly."
• He links his departure to a changing culture, early rock and roll, and teenage attractions that made cloistered life feel untenable.
• The series places his formative religious experiences alongside a career steeped in faith themes, including films like The Last Temptation of Christ and Silence.
• The five-episode Apple TV+ series features interviews with family and longtime collaborators such as Robert De Niro, Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Thelma Schoonmaker, Steven Spielberg, and others.
