Martin Scorsese is widely considered to be one of the best living film directors. As a major retrospective of his work opens at ACMI, film scholar Bruce Isaacs dissects five classic Scorsese scenes.

In episode five, Isaacs analyses two related but very different scenes: the famous Copacabana Steadicam tracking shot from Goodfellas (1990) and the digital tracking shot from the opening scene in Hugo (2011).

Bruce Isaacs does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond the academic appointment above.
