In the inaugural episode of Movie People, Martin Scorsese joins his daughter Francesca to discuss the films he screened for her as she grew up. This extensive list, which serves as the foundation for a new year-round series at the Southampton Playhouse entitled "The Scorsese Family Experience," provides a unique snapshot of the way that cinema can inform an evolving view of the of the world.
Together, Martin and Francesca represent two very different generations of audiences: one reared on the New York City repertory scene of the 1960s, and the other forged in the vernacular of Gen Z. In an extensive conversation with Playhouse artistic director Eric Kohn, they bridge that gap through charming, and at times even emotional, observations about their relationship.
