Review of The King of Comedy (1982) by Tim W — 11 Jun 2010
'The King of Comedy' is without doubt Scorsese's most underrated film.A great premise executed with utter precision, with Scorsese and De Niro showing a keen eye for detail and nuances of the main character.
De Niro is terrific in what has to be the most pathetic character he's ever played. Pupkin is the non-menacing version of the frustrated semi-lunatic Travis Bickle.Scorsese tapped a nerve and has shown us an ugly side of our pop culture.
I couldn't happier to see the ugliness be brought out into the open.
