The Making of 'Cape Fear'

Martin Scorsese and his team plunge into the meticulous process of reimagining a classic thriller. The camera shadows the director on set, in the editing suite, and during intense creative debates. This documentary captures the granular work behind the scenes, from casting Robert De Niro and Nick Nolte to crafting the film's oppressive visual palette. It reveals how Scorsese navigated the tension between honoring the 1962 original and imprinting his own, more psychologically nuanced vision, transforming a genre piece into a study of obsession, guilt, and primal fear.
