Edgar Wright Instagram – It has been an absolute pleasure to help programme a series at the @britishfilminstitute of hand selected “Hidden Gems of British Cinema” from the one and only Martin Scorsese. Tickets for this special series are already on sale now exclusively to BFI members, but tickets will open to the general public on today! Ticket link can be found in my bio.
During the early days of the Covid lockdown, I explored a list of international films recommended by Martin Scorsese. The journey was so impactful that I wrote to thank him. A few weeks later, he surprised me with a list of 50 cherished British films. Having seen less than half, I eagerly dove into the rest. The joy of discovering these classic films, hidden gems, and unheralded treasures was thrilling. Check out the full list of films that will be screening below!
