Review of The King of Comedy (1982) by Melissa Anderson for Village Voice — 23 Jun 1984
The King of Comedy, which Film Forum is presenting in a new 4K restoration for a week-long run, brilliantly keeps viewers.
Unmoored, the result of its consistently off-kilter tone. Though filled with sight gags and corny jokes, the movie is also darkened by genuine menace.
