'As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster.' Henry Hill had always been a part of the criminal life of New York, finally achieving the coveted status of 'wiseguy'. But in 1980 he made the decision to exchange his knowledge for a new identity.

Hill's story of crude hierarchies, casual murders and collaboration with the police was adapted by Marin Scorsese and became one of the most outstanding films of 1990.

Born in Queens, New York, in 1942, Martin Scorsese seriously contemplated the priesthood but finally embraced cinema and, following Mean Streets (1973) emerged as the pre-eminent American director of his generation. Taxi Driver won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1976; Raging Bull (1980) is considered the greatest American film of its decade. His more recent works include GoodFellas (1990), Casino (1995), Bringing Out the Dead (1999) and Gangs of New York (2002).
