Martin Scorsese says he’s open-minded about Netflix film revolution

Martin Scorsese has said video streaming services have brought a cinema revolution, as his Netflix-backed mafia epic “ Irishman” closes London Film Festival.

director said Sunday that streaming was “an even bigger revolution than sound brought to cinema” because it “opens up original conception of what a film is” and how it should be seen.

Scorsese told reporters he was keeping an open mind about change, but thought it was still important that movies be experienced communally.

He said “homes are becoming atres too but it’s a major change and I think one has to keep an open mind.”

“ Irishman,” about reflections of a former Jimmy Hoffa associate and hitman, is due to have a atrical run before its v. 27 release on Netflix.
