Acclaimed director Martin Scorsese appeared in a playful TikTok video with his daughter Francesca Scorsese, where he tried to identify his films based on witty one-liner reviews from Letterboxd.
In the video, Francesca reads sarcastic or humorous Letterboxd reviews, and Marty has to guess which movie each comment refers to. For example, one review asked,
“Would Remy from ‘Ratatouille’ feel at home in ‘Goodfellas’?”Scorsese's presence made the joke resonate even more.
When Francesca read a review saying,
“Chat, do I need therapy for being SO attracted to De Niro in this?”Scorsese immediately identified the film as Cape Fear, surprising his daughter.
Francesca humorously captioned the video,
“He taught me cinema, I taught him Letterboxd.”The playful exchange shows their shared love of film and witty social media content.
The video was created in partnership with Apple TV to promote their five-part documentary series Mr. Scorsese that explores his career. This TikTok is one of many videos featuring Francesca and Martin, with her often spotlighting her father in charming clips.
For Halloween, Francesca shared another TikTok showing the duo joining the “Beez in the Trap” trend, featuring the Oscar-winning director looking intensely at the camera while she dressed as the Kool-Aid Man.
Author's summary: Martin Scorsese and his daughter Francesca share a lighthearted TikTok guessing game where he matches his movies to sharp Letterboxd reviews, highlighting their close bond and love for film culture.
