Before applauding Martin Scorsese for his dazzling array of cinematic masterpieces, punctuated with captivating storytelling, stellar performances, and mind-bending music, the ardent film buff would do well to doff her hat to the auteur for being a passionate champion in film preservation.
Over the years, Mr Scorsese, 81, has assiduously preserved world cinema’s heritage like a precious family treasure.
