Martin Scorsese directs an all-star cast in this action-packed thriller set in Boston, where a long-simmering hostility between the police department and an Irish-American gang led by Costello (Academy Award winner Jack Nicholson) is primed to explode. The fuse is lit when a gangster (Matt Damon) is chosen to infiltrate the police force--and a young cop (Leonardo DiCaprio) goes undercover within the gang. Now, when the two moles uncover each other's identity, the battle begins.

An American treasure, Martin Scorsese has been making films that for over fifty years that expand the art of cinema world-wide. While his name is almost synonymous with the best of Hollywood mainstream and independent film, Scorsese’s global influences include Italian New-Realism, French New Wave, and Japanese cinema (to name just a few).

4 BY SCORSESE spans his career, from his well-known blockbuster, GOODFELLAS, which did as much, if not more, to reimagining the gangster genre as any Coppola film, to his lesser known (and way underrated) comedy, AFTER HOURS; From his Boston set and highly acclaimed THE DEPARTED to his second and highly noteworthy film, ALICE DOESN’T LIVE HERE ANYMORE, which the 70’s sitcom “Alice” was based.
