Life Lessons 1989 Directed by Martin Scorsese

The first of three segments in 'New York Stories'

Set at the end of the 1980s, when new, large-scale paintings were once again lining gallery walls, Life Lessons is a comedy about an artist who needs to be miserably jealous to overcome what could be called ‘painter’s block.’
