Scorsese, a clear fan of West’s filmography, is now doubling down on his admiration for West, telling the New York Times that the “X” trilogy represented a “different type of horror, related to different eras in American moviemaking.”
The first, “X,” is “the ’70s, the slasher era”; “Pearl” is “’50s melodrama in vivid saturated color; “MaXXXine” is “’80s Hollywood, rancid, desperate.” They are, Scorsese wrote, “three linked stories set within three different moments in movie culture, reflecting back on the greater culture.” By smuggling thoroughly modern ideas into films that were also steeped in the aesthetics of the past, Scorsese thought, West had done “something bold and thoroughly cinematic”.
Agree with everything Marty said💯💯💯
