Synopsis
The 50 Year Argument is Martin Scorsese's latest film, co-directed with his longtime documentary collaborator David Tedeschi. It charts literary, political and cultural history as per the 'New York Review of Books', America's leading journal of ideas since 1963. The film weaves rare archive material, interviews and writing by icons such as James Baldwin and Gore Vidal into original vérité footage, filmed in the Review's Greenwich Village offices with longtime editor Robert Silvers.
