Scorsese Examines NY Review


It’s not too early to set your DVR, or to make an iPhone reminder, for next Monday, the 29th. On that night, HBO will broadcast Martin Scorsese and David Tedeschi’s “The 50 Year Argument,” about the history of the New York Review of Books. For the life of me I don’t comprehend why the official title of the movie carries no hyphen between “50” and “Year.” The Review has been scrupulously edited all these years: why can’t a documentary about it be equally accurate?
