'It Breaks My Heart': Martin Scorsese Pens Touching Tribute To Friend Rob Reiner
HuffPost
The filmmaker described being "moved by the delicacy and openness" of Reiner's performance in one of his iconic films.
Martin Scorsese shared a heartfelt tribute to his late friend and fellow legendary filmmaker Rob Reiner on Christmas Day.
Scorsese — in a piece for The New York Times — wrote that it fills him with “profound sadness” to use the past tense to discuss his pals Rob and Michele Reiner, who were stabbed to death earlier this month, allegedly by their son Nick Reiner.
“What happened to Rob and Michele is an obscenity, an abyss in lived reality. The only thing that will help me to accept it is the passing of time,” Scorsese wrote.
“So, like all of their loved ones and their friends — and these were people with many, many friends — I have to be allowed to imagine them alive and well …”
Scorsese reflected on his time first getting to know Rob Reiner in the early 1970s, noting that he “loved hanging out” with the actor and director right away.
