in a tweet<\/a> early this week: \u201cGoncharov was inexplicably ahead of [its] time and its contribution to cinema is remarkable. Rarely does a film tell as many diverse-yet-interconnected stories. Hard to imagine so few ppl have seen it.\u201d<\/p>\nStories in the New York Times and the Guardian followed. Forbes speculated the unusual shoe tag may have misspelled \u201cGomorrah,\u201d the 2008 Italian drama about the Naples mafia, directed by Matteo Garrone. Scorsese’s name was used on marketing materials at the time.<\/p>\n
Discussion of \u201cGoncharov\u201d reached such a fever pitch that Scorsese’s daughter, Francesca, addressed the movie Friday on TikTok. The 23-year-old said she sent her dad the Times article about the social media phenomenon, asking if he’s seen it. <\/p>\n
\u201cYes. I made that movie years ago,\u201d Scorsese responded, seemingly in on the joke. <\/p>\n
Scorsese’s recent credits include \u201cPersonality Crisis: One Night Only,\u201d \u201cThe Eternal Daughter,\u201d \u201cThe Last Movie Stars,\u201d \u201cTheodore Roosevelt\u201d and \u201cDreaming Walls: Inside the Chelsea Hotel.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2026and perhaps a re-release of \u201cGoncharov?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
