This week Claudia joins us to survey two of Martin Scorsese\\u2019s earliest films, Mean Streets (1973) and Alice Doesn\\u2019t Live Here Anymore (1974), both of which express the lived experiences of working class Americans in often surprising ways. We talk about how these films depict class mobility and ethnic tribalism, violence (both economic and domestic), the multidimensional traps of gender, \\xa0and the sometimes impossible moral challenges faced by people struggling to survive in the dark terrain of 1970s America.
