Additional InformationMartin Scorsese's THE KING OF COMEDY is a brutally funny depiction of the dangers of celebrity fandom. Robert De Niro plays the ridiculously inept Rupert Pupkin, an aspiring comic who idolises talk-show host Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis). Still living at home with his mother, Rupert spends his days trying to arrange a meeting with his hero. When he isn't doing that, he's at home talking to cardboard cutouts in his makeshift television studio. After Rupert convinces Rita (Diahnne Abbot), a pretty bartender, that Langford has invited them to his house outside the city, the reality of the situation makes itself painfully apparent upon arriving at the star's front door. Trouble is, Rupert's too delusional to take the hint. He eventually hatches a plan with an equally obsessed fan, Masha (a scene-stealing Sandra Bernhard), to kidnap Langford in exchange for a chance to let him deliver his routine on the air. De Niro and Lewis deliver scorching performances that are at once tragic and hysterical, making for an unsettling yet highly stimulating viewing experience. Paul D. Zimmerman's script takes the time to truly crawl inside the mind of a lunatic, exposing celebrity worship as the ludicrous problem that it is. THE KING OF COMEDY stands firmly as one of Scorsese's most terrifying films.

Watching 'Joker' film I was reminded of ...
Watching 'Joker' film I was reminded of Robert De Niro in this film and its story arc, so had to see 'King of Comedy' again, it's been many decades since I saw it the once. Thank you.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Cult Classic film with extras.
I've wanted to see this for a while, after hearing from several people that it was a good film to see. The bargain price drew me in, and this 1983 Scorsese work really stands the test of time. Not as lengthy as today's epic films tend to be, but quirky and dark enough to keep interest, plus very good acting from the main characters. The extra features are also worth checking out afterwards, with interviews from some of the cast plus behind the scene details.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very offbeat satire on the effect that seeking fame has on people.
Underrated satire from Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro. Definitely an influence on 'Joker' as a send up of fame and celebrity.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A Keeper
A riveting and provocative meditation on the nature of celebrity and the US media, The King of Comedy is the light side of Taxi Driver. And I wonder if DeNiro looked at some Chaplin films when he was devising his own manic 'Little Fellow'.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
