Scorsese's first masterpiece. The director begins to tell about himself, about Little Italy, about his life and that of all the boys from the American neighborhood; to do so, he chooses as protagonists a close friend of his, Harvey Keitel (an outstanding performance), and a nearly debuting Robert De Niro, who literally unleashes all his immense talent, delivering an indescribable performance. Both actors are from L.Italy like the director; this masterpiece, after all, also speaks about them.
