Scorsese's Film Shines with Women's Contributions

The article challenges the notion that Martin Scorsese only makes films centered on masculinity by highlighting "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," a film that prominently features women's perspectives. The film, which turns 50 this month, was brought to Scorsese by Ellen Burstyn and involved significant contributions from women like Sandra Weintraub, Marcia Lucas, and Toby Carr Rafelson. Despite its success and influence, the film and its female collaborators have often been overlooked in film history, underscoring the need to recognize women's roles in shaping cinema.
