Martin Scorsese Reveals Why He Doesn't See His Movies In Public

The iconic director listed off a number of concerns with theatergoers who he described as being "a bit more raucous" at screenings.

Martin Scorsese broke down why he doesn’t catch screenings of his films in public in a recent interview with Variety.

The iconic director, whose film “Killers of the Flower Moon” picked up ten nominations at the Academy Awards, revealed his concerns with the moviegoing experience including people who “talk and move around a lot” at theaters.

“I’m short and there’s always a big person in front of me. It’s the same with Broadway — I can’t go to theater. There’s someone in front of me, and I can’t see the stage or hear the show,” Scorsese said.

The director added that he “really” enjoys seeing films in IMAX as he gets older.

“You go in, you can sit up in the back and you’re sort of looking up. Regular screenings, I have found the audiences becoming a bit more raucous than they used to be,” Scorsese said.
