The father-daughter duo continues their tour, introducing viewers to various movie-themed aspects of their home. From a director’s chair with the Scorsese name emblazoned on the back to Martin’s collection of movie memorabilia, the TikTok offers an intimate look at the life of one of Hollywood’s most celebrated directors.

As they guide viewers through their home theater, Martin playfully highlights their love for classic cinema, noting that “of course, we have TCM, all the time.” He also shares a glimpse of their DVD collection, featuring films such as the 1962 Italian classic Il Sorpasso (The Easy Life in English), the 1956 American drama Bigger Than Life, and Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1964 film, Before the Revolution.

Towards the end of the video, Francesca teases the viewers with a promise to reveal “what cinema really is,” before cutting to a close-up of her father’s face. This lighthearted moment captures the warmth and humour that defines Martin and his daughter’s relationship, providing fans with a rare peek into the personal life of the iconic director.

“We’re movie lovers – so of course we’re gonna tell you what cinema really is’, Francesca adds, before cutting to the director eyeing up the camera. “We’re movie lovers – so, of course, we have things from movies like an automaton from Hugo,” Martin is heard saying as he shows off the famous model from the 2011 film that he directed.

“We’re movie lovers – of course, it’s impossible to choose a favourite filmmaker’, Francesca says rounding out the clip showing off a friend who can be seen wearing a T-shirt with plasters with Martin’s face.

The TikTok video is just one of many that Francesca and Martin have collaborated on in recent months, introducing the legendary director to a new generation of potential fans. This social media presence offers a refreshing change of pace from  Martin’s often intense filmography.

Martin’s daughter has seemingly influenced him to explore social media and share a different side of himself with the public. The director now maintains an Instagram account with nearly 2 million followers, where he shares behind-the-scenes moments from his work as well as personal photos and snaps of his pet dogs.
