There is a party atmosphere to the telling of these stories, as Mr. Prince holds forth in a smoke-filled room with a group of friends, Mr. Scorsese among them. But the film maker's conviviality takes on an element of regret.

Reviews for American Boy
American Boy is certainly valuable as a glimpse into the life of the director, but it's also perfectly entertaining in and of itself.
It's not just in the hot tub that Scorsese wishes to separate himself from this guy.
It looks suspiciously like another demonstration of his awe of violence that makes some of Taxi Driver look immature.
