James Rodrigues’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

For ten years, I have poured my passion for films into writing reviews on my website. What began as a hobby on my blog turned into love I shared onto other websites, learning from writers published in magazines such as Scream and Total Film. While covering the latest blockbusters, I've also endeavored to highlight independent cinema and the underseen gems deserving wider appreciation and have covered many film festivals worldwide.

Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore 4K (1974) – an underrated work from a legendary filmmaker

Despite a wide filmography made across six decades, there are still people who dismiss Martin Scorsese as someone who solely makes “gangster films”. It’s a shame that such incorrect statements linger as they’re easy to disprove just by watching Scorsese’s back catalogue, and one film that stands out from that is his fourth feature, with a screenplay from Robert Getchell – Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore.
