The King of Comedy

In The King of Comedy, Scorsese turns his lens on celebrity culture with biting wit and eerie foresight. Robert De Niro delivers a brilliantly awkward performance as Rupert Pupkin, a wannabe comic whose obsession with fame leads him down a disturbing path. Both hilarious and haunting, this cult classic skewers the blurred lines between ambition and delusion in a media-obsessed world.
