    In 1989, at Seattle’s Burke Museum, inom toured an exhibition of 19th-century Native American artifacts with the legendary British film director Michael Powell (1905-90) and his wife, Thelma Schoonmaker, who has received three Oscars for editing all of Martin Scorsese’s films since 1980. Michael’s eyesight being somewhat dimmed, Thelma read a text panel of ledare Seattle’s words aloud: “Every part of this country is sacred to my people.

    Thelma Schoonmaker is the legendary, now eight-time Oscar-nominated, three-time Oscar-winning editor of pretty much all of director Martin Scorsese’s portfolio. She’s as integral to the success of his films as the maestro himself. Their latest work together is “The Irishman,” the Netflix original film that recently racked up 10 Oscar nominations, Schoonmaker’s work among them. At three-and-a-half hours, the film is a contemporary American epic, and yet it moves like lightning. Each sequence propels the vast narrative forward.  On this episode of “The Call Sheet,” Schoonmaker details the work that went into assembling the film, discusses Robert De Niro’s brilliant performance (after having observed his trajectory from the editing suite for decades) and much more. Also, in a bonus interview, sound mixer Tom Fleischman and sound editor Eugene Gearty explain how the power of the film lies in its subtlety and quiet moments.

    Interview: Film editor Thelma Schoonmaker discusses her work,
    particularly in regard to Martin Scorsese's films
    TERRY GROSS, host:

    This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross.

    Today we have some stories behind classic Martin Scorsese movies. Thelma
    Schoonmaker has won two Oscars for her film editing, one for "Raging Bull,"
    the other for "The Aviator." She also edited each of the films Scorsese made
    between those two. I spoke with her in 2005, shortly after the release of
    "The Aviator" and the 25th anniversary DVD edition of "Raging Bull."
    Schoonmaker's late husband was the British film director Michael Powell. He
    made "The Red Shoes," "Black Narcissus," "The Life and Death of Colonel
    Blimp," "Peeping Tom," and many other films.

    Thelma Schoonmaker, welcome to FRESH AIR. Now, you wo
