The Scorseses lived in Little Italy on the Occupational Therapy retro T-Shirt Furthermore, I will do this Lower East Side, home to some of the best old-time Italian bakeries and red sauce joints in the world. But it was also a tough, insular community with a reputation for gangsterism. Scorsese has often recalled that his childhood neighborhood inspired his breakthrough 1973 film “Mean Streets.” He used to sit on the fire escape or roof of his building and stare down at the crowded streets, where he would see a mix of working-class Americans of Italian descent, street kids and social club patrons, occasionally dressed up in bespoke suits with bold-colored patterns. They donned spiffy shined shoes, jewelry and other aspirational displays of wealth. “There was an excess beyond what you saw with midtown businessmen,” Sarah C. Byrd, a fashion historian and archivist, said of “Mean Streets.” The film “offers exaggerated notions of masculinity, power, and the suits were likely made by a highly skilled tailor.” In 1974, Scorsese was coming off the success of his first studio movie, “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore,” when he was offered to direct a documentary on Italians. It was part of a planned television series on ethnic groups. Instead of taking a conventional approach (digging through archival footage for typical stories and hiring a narrator to provide context), Scorsese decided to make a movie about his parents. He called it “Italianamerican.”

Over the movie’s title card, Scorsese used a lively piece of Italian folk-dance music known as tarantella. (Anyone who’s seen “The Godfather Part II,” another paragon of Italian American fashion, might know this is the kind of tune Frankie Pentangeli memorably tries in vain to get a Nevada-square wedding band to play, before they mockingly break into “Pop Goes the Weasel.”) “Italianamerican,” also included in “Scorsese Shorts,” was shot as a cinema vérité documentary with a small crew over two days at the director’s childhood home on Elizabeth Street. It’s an affectionate, at times hilarious sort of companion piece to “Mean Streets.” His parents, in their 60s, are well dressed in fairly contemporary looks: Charles has a colorful striped shirt with dark slacks; Catherine, a sleeveless pink ruffle dress and crown of purple-grey hair. The star of the movie turns out to be his mother: a natural storyteller with a crackling wit and blue floral-wallpapered kitchen, where we see her preparing a pasta dinner.
