Review of The King of Comedy (1982) by Stefano C — 06 Apr 2018

"Verguenza ajena": this is a beautiful spanish term that everyone felt in his / her life, but there is no literal english translation unfortunately. It's when you feel ashamed for something you are witnessing, and not doing.

This is the fuel that makes "The King of Comedy" run for the first part. Don't worry, it evolves too but I won't tell you how, just watch it because it is a really good movie! "Dog Day Afternoon" meets "Taxy Driver".

Might not be as good as them, but it comes pretty close!
