The Women of Martin Scorsese films

I just have one edit on this compilation by Nelson Carvahal, which I love, is that it not open with Sharon Stone, and that during the Jessica Lange clip he linger a bit longer on her monologue to hear her say “not with her.” That’s the key to that scene – she’s trying so hard to be brave but when she refers to her daughter, protecting her daughter from the potential rape, that is what that scene is all about – this cuts too soon. Nonetheless, a small complaint. There are so many great female characters in Marty’s films.  I think the women in King of Comedy might be my favorite, though – Sandra Bernhard, Shelly Hack and Diahnne Abbot.
