The King of Comedy

Almost perfecf 9/10

One of my favorite Robert De Niro movies! This film also inspired Todd Phillips Joker from 2019. (So if you liked this definitely go check that out!)

I’m not a fan. The script is weak and deniro isn’t convincing as a comic. However, I love Jerry lewis and consider this movie slightly enjoyable because of him

Not Scorsese’s best but definitely not his worst.

SCORSESE CAMEO

the inspiration for worse films such as joker is clear; conceptually, this is a brilliant film, even if i would’ve preferred it had gone a bit farther in execution. de niro is brilliant as always, as is the schizo-chaotic and nerve wracking visual language
