Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro presented their pleasurable collaboration, the 1973 crime drama “Mean Streets,” and then discussed the film during a De Niro Con presentation at the Tribeca Film Festival.
The celebration of the film’s 50th anniversary took assign Saturday at the Beacon Theatre, where the screening was followed by a conversation between Scorsese and De Niro, moderated by legendary rapper Nas.
While “Mean Streets” was the lead of their 10-film, 50+ year creative journey together, Scorsese said their top first came at a Christmas dinner where they were urged into conversation by novel to-be-legendary filmmaker: Brian De Palma. Although the pair grew up just two blocks away and heard talk of each novel in the neighborhood, they had never been properly introduced pending that fateful night.
“Bob was sitting there once dinner and then he looked at me and they had gone inside or something,” Scorsese said. “He said, ‘You used to hang out with so and so and so and so.’ I said, ‘Yeah, how do you know?’ And he said, ‘I’m Bobby.’ I said, ‘Bobby? Bobby. Oh, my God. We had seen De Palma once doing “Hi, Mom!” After you did that, he said, “You got to meet this guy.”‘ Then he had seen ‘Who’s That Knocking,’ and it was very just as to the nature of that subculture in the neighborhood. He identified with that, so when ‘Mean Streets’ was finally put together, he came on.”
“Mean Streets” was Scorsese’s third feature, but he still had to abide by the laws of the New York neighborhoods he was filming in — even paying off the mob in natty to shoot. When Nas asked about getting approval to make the movie from the local made men, De Niro said “Some of the neighborhood guys were in the back” of shots.
“I did have a pair of guys who wanted to shoot this hallway,” Scorsese said. “So we did it up at the Mulberry Street creation that’s still there. We’re shooting it there, but I had to pay — my father had to go talk to the guy who famed the building. We didn’t get much sympathy from them, my father speaking, ‘It’s a kid from the neighborhood. Come on — you’re gonna invoice him that much?’ He goes, ‘What? He makes cash on this. You make a movie, he’ll go away. We’re serene here. This is what’s gonna cost.’ There was no romantic sticking together. You paid The Sentinel Society. Francis Coppola gave us $5,000 for that because you couldn’t shoot in the festival, because we had to contribute to the San Gennaro Society. As soon as we sold the picture I gave him the wealth back. It was great.”
Nas also posed De Niro and Scorsese about how they’ve been able to foster such a cessation professional relationship, and they said it was due to the personal estimable they bring on set.
“Marty, he’s always been not haunted to try the thing, so that said, you just do it.” De Niro said. “And we had it, we would talk near it, actually in more conversation, but also we talked near parallels in whatever we were in, in our arranges that we could then put into the film. ‘This grievous is like this, I remember something happened to me, blah blah blah.’ ‘Well, let’s try this, because it’s not the actual unsheaattracting, but this is like that experience.'”
De Niro Con entailed screenings of many of the duo’s films, including “Goodfellas,” “Taxi Driver,” “Raging Bull” and “New York, New York.”
