Martin Scorsese Avoids Public Screenings Due to Height, Audience Behavior

Acclaimed Director Prefers IMAX Screenings, Continues to Garner Success with Latest Film 'Killers of the Flower Moon'

  • Martin Scorsese, the acclaimed director, has revealed that he doesn't attend public screenings of his own films due to his short stature, which often results in his view being blocked by taller audience members.
  • Scorsese also cited the behavior of modern audiences, who he feels are more disruptive and raucous, as another reason for his avoidance of public screenings.
  • The director, however, expressed his enjoyment of IMAX screenings, where he can sit at the back and look up at the screen without his view being obstructed.
  • Despite his personal viewing preferences, Scorsese's films continue to be successful, with his latest film, 'Killers of the Flower Moon', grossing over $150 million and receiving 10 Oscar nominations.
  • This marks the tenth time Scorsese has been nominated in the best director category, surpassing Steven Spielberg as the most nominated living director.
