This week on Salt Lake Dirt, I'm excited to welcome back author and podcaster Ben Tanzer to discuss his latest book, After Hours: Scorsese, Grief, and the Grammar of Cinema. In this deeply personal work, Ben explores the intersection of cinema and personal loss, reflecting on his father’s influence and their shared love for film.
Ben shares insights into his writing process, the unique structure of the book that blends memoir, film criticism, and interviews, and how his familial relationships shaped his understanding of grief and creativity. We delve into the significance of Scorsese’s films in his life and how they serve as markers of pivotal moments in his journey.
Thanks for tuning in!
