Italianamerican is a 1974 film directed by Martin Scorsese. Martin Scorsese's parents, Catherine and Charles Scorsese, feature in this homemade documentary acting as themselves. The Scorseses talk about their experiences as Italian immigrants in New York among other things, while having dinner at their flat on Elizabeth Street. Mother Scorsese even shows us how to cook meatballs, a recipe later featured in the credits of the film. The family, religion, their origins, Italian ancestors, life in Italy after the war, the hardships of poor Sicilian immigrants in America striving to make ends meet, all feature in this film and as leitmotifs in Scorsese's later work.
