The King of Comedy

1h 48m
Directed by Martin Scorsese • 1982 • United States
Starring Robert De Niro, Jerry Lewis, Sandra Bernhard
Welcome to the disturbing world of Rupert Pupkin (Robert De Niro), the psychotic aspiring comedian who believes that all he needs is one appearance on the late-night talk show hosted by Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis) to propel him to superstardom. After one rejection too many, the increasingly unhinged Pupkin takes matters into his own hands with a crazed scheme to land him the TV appearance of his dreams. Alternating between a flatly lit TV look for reality and a bizarre vision of Rupert’s fantasy world, Martin Scorsese’s brilliantly unsettling black comedy is a biting satire of stardom and media obsession that has only grown more relevant with time.
