Watch Martin Scorsese's Student Short Film 'It’s Not Just You, Murray!'

No comments:

Later this month Martin Scorsese's The Wolf Of Wall Street will arrive in UK cinemas  and to get us into the mood for that much anticipated movie, Filmschoolrejects have dived into archives and unearthed a Scorsese gem. Dating back to film maestro's days at University and a short film called 'It's Not Just You, Murray!'

The film dates back to 1964 Scorsese was a student at NYU Film School and like any film student a number of short films are made and this 50 year old gem has a familiar feel to it. It's Not Just You, Murray! is a 16 minute film which showcases many traits seen in the directors future films like Goodfellas, even the new one The Wolf Of Wall Street especially. Leonardo Di Caprio plays Jordan Belfort starts the film narrating how he got from rags to riches before corruption took over, In It's Not Just You, Murray!, Murray played by Ira Rubin does likewise. As Murray progresses it becomes more evident it becomes more a template for Goodfellas, Casino with the multiple narrations with even a  Fellini's 81/2 homage too.
