He considers Satyajit Ray the greatest filmmaker from the country, and feels Ray is leagues ahead of him and his contemporaries, in terms of social concern and cinematic genius. “When I watched the Apu Trilogy and Devi, I was moved by his sheer sense of aesthetics and versatility. In our films, we receive so much of financial support and scope to experiment. But, Ray created wonders with shoe-string budgets, and experimented as no other director during his time did.”

If we are to believe the tabloids, Scorsese is going to be involved in 3-4 projects. I believe only one will be realized and get made.

What wrong with him now? Agreed that departed and shutter island or not as good as Taxi Driver but it's not that he has regressed to become a shabby filmmaker. Both Shutter island (film of the year for me discounting animations) and the departed can very well hold against other best films of this decade.
