Review of Casino (1995) by Tazio G — 04 Jul 2015
A shockingly underrated American crime film from one of the very best filmmakers of all time, as well as one of the greatest films I've had the pleasure of seeing in my few years on earth.
Martin Scorsese is the greatest of all filmmakers currently living, there's no justifiable way to dispute that. He has created some of the most bold, compelling, relevant, complex and beautiful films of all time. "Casino" is one of them.
I've seen many of Scorsese's films, and this is film, as well as arguably the greatest film ever made "Taxi Driver", that I always come back to.
As far as Scorsese's gangster films go, everybody goes to "GoodFellas". Now, "GoodFellas" is a masterpiece, but I may be the only one who prefers "Casino" to "GoodFellas" and "The Departed" and Scorsese's other films of the like. Now, the reason that is, is because this is Scorsese's most finitely detailed film to date. Many of the film's small details ultimately are irrelevant, but it makes the experience so much more immersive than it would've been otherwise.
