Martin Scorsese is, of course, very well known to say the least, for his incredible feature films.
He is also, however, an incredible auteur when it comes to making interesting documentaries. And this one, unlike many of his great docs about bands, goes very personal into his upbringing, his parents and the culture of Italian-Americans.
It is lowkey, very subtle and doesn't revolve around too much but being in the moment, and the interviews and insight are very interesting. It is all around very beautifully put together in terms of both cutting and editing, and very tightlt paced.
Overall, definitely a recommended Scorsese documentary!
