The Lyme Library is honored to have the author and educator Jim Cullen appear to speak about his book "Martin Scorsese and the American Dream”.

Credited as one of the greatest American filmmakers of our time, Scorsese has tackled the consequences of striving toward the "American Dream" in every one of his films. From "Mean Streets" to "Killers of the Flower Moon", he has portrayed the glamour and pitfalls both morally, and financially of ambition gone unchecked and what happens to the human spirit when it is disconnected from the anchors of human empathy and understanding. "Martin Scorsese and the American Dream" is a fascinating book and a must read for any Scorsese fan or film lover.
