The absurd notion that Martin Scorsese only makes gangster films is as boring as it is wrong. While Scorsese will always be associated with crime thrillers like Mean Streets or Goodfellas, his filmography includes films from many different genres. Romance has always been an intrinsic part of Scorsese’s filmography; even action-packed films like Casino and The Departed have a romantic storyline that helps ground the narrative with emotional context. Scorsese doesn’t hyper sensationalize the romance within his films, as his work has always adhered to a more authentic depiction of what relationships are actually like. This is best explained by Scorsese’s groundbreaking 1974 documentary Italianamerican. Italianamerican isn’t about gangster, criminals, or serial killers; it's the story of Scorsese’s parents. It’s arguably Scorsese’s most romantic and personal work to date.
