Spoilers for "Killers of the Flower Moon" follow.
Martin Scorsese is the great American filmmaker of his generation — and I don't just mean in nationality. The American Dream underpins Scorsese's films, whether unfolding in his hometown of New York City or the Oklahoma plains like his latest, "Killers of the Flower Moon." Based on David Grann's non-fiction novel, the film is set in 1920s Osage County, Oklahoma. The indigenous Osage tribe came into wealth upon discovering oil on their land — so white settlers murdered them to steal it. While ringleaders William King Hale (Robert De Niro) and Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) were prosecuted, they avoided life in prison. Mollie Burkhart (Lily Gladstone), Ernest's wife and poisoning victim, dies at the age of 50 without her family, while the Osage's wealth dries up. It's hardly a victory for justice, even if the tribe refuses to be forgotten by history.

In a new TikTok video that went viral late Thursday, “Killers of the Flower Moon” director Martin Scorsese was tasked by his daughter, the actress and filmmaker Francesca Scorsese, with defining some online slang – and defended his 1983 film “The King of Comedy” in the process.
In the playful video, one of many that Francesca Scorsese has posted alongside her Oscar-winning father, Martin Scorsese is asked to define terms like “ship,” “simp,” and “hits different.” When Francesca Scorsese asks her dad to define “slept on,” she uses “The King of Comedy” as an example to provide context.
“People hated it when it came out,” Martin Scorsese said in response. “It was the flop of the year. That’s what it was called on ‘Entertainment Tonight.’ On New Year’s Eve ’83-’84. It’s okay, it’s alright.”

In the dark, dry comedy, Robert De Niro plays a scheming comedian whose mediocrity doesn’t dampen his ambition
There’s a sequence in Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy, where Jerry Langford, the host of a popular late-night talk show, slips out of his New York office and goes for a walk down the street. Everyone knows who he is, but how they interact with him varies. He’s charmed by a middle-aged taxi driver who greets him and tells him how much he enjoys the show. He’s happy to get an ovation from construction workers overhead. Then he’s stopped by a woman at a payphone who wants him to sign her magazine. He obliges. Then she wants him to say something to her nephew on the phone. He politely declines. As he walks away, she shouts after him: “You should only get cancer. I hope you get cancer.

Actress, comedian, chanteuse — there’s very little Sandra Bernhard hasn’t done since bursting onto the scene in the late 1970s. She started out as a regular at The Comedy Store, performing alongside Richard Pryor, who cast Bernhard, then 22, in his short-lived NBC variety show The Richard Pryor Show in 1977. By 1983, she was working with Martin Scorsese in The King of Comedy, playing a crazed comedy fan who, together with Robert De Niro’s Rupert Pupkin, kidnaps talk-show legend Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis). Along the way, she honed her club act — a mix of comedy, pop-culture observations, social ...

One Shot is a series that seeks to find an essence of cinema history in one single image of a movie. Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy (1983) is showing on Mubi starting February 21, 2021 in the UK and other countries.Late night host Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis) has broken free, for the moment. He tears the leftover white tape off of the cuffs of his pants and jacket—tape that was used to hold him hostage, and that makes Lewis look more than a little like the Nutty Professor. And then, alone on the street, the camera invasively close, he stares at his deranged fan/triumphant captor with a hatred more violent than anything in a gangster picture. It’s an ugly sight, almost a smash cut, and as Langford’s final shot in the film, its tension anticipates an outburst that never comes. At the time, such abrasiveness begged...

Among the most fruitful actor-director pairings in movie history, Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro have earned critical plaudits and a slew of awards for their collaborations over the years. The two first paired up for the Little Italy coming-of-age story “Mean Streets” (1973), a commercial breakout for both that established them as a duo to watch in the burgeoning New Hollywood of the 1970s.
They followed that up with “Taxi Driver” (1976), a violent character study which earned De Niro a Best Actor Oscar nomination and won Scorsese the Palme d’Or at Cannes. Their next outing, the ambitious musical “New York, New York” (1977), brought De Niro a Golden Globe nomination as Best Comedy/Musical Actor.
They had greater Oscar success with the boxing biopic “Raging Bull” (1980), which won De Niro Best Actor and earned Scorsese his first bid as Best Director. Both competed at BAFTA for the darkly comic “The King of Comedy...

With the arrival of Joker, we examine one of Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro's most underrated movies, The King of Comedy.
Joker pays homage to the classics. Tributes are often a polite word for artistic theft and at least one trailer has the heroic villain stealing a timeless line from the British comedian Bob Monkhouse. “Everyone laughed when I said I was going to be a comedian, but nobody’s laughing now.” Such is the dichotomy of dark comedy, some of the best laughter gets caught in the throat. It looks like Joker might have stolen more than a joke though from Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy. He may have made off with the conclusion, which was up for grabs anyway.

If you’d bet on Todd Phillips ever winning the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, you’d have made lots of money. If you’d bet on Todd Phillips winning the Golden Lion for Joker, you’d now be Bruce Wayne.
And Arthur Fleck – soon to be the Joker – wouldn’t like that very much. Joaquin Phoenix plays the wannabe stand-up comic in this origin story of the most iconic villain in the superhero world. Predictably Fleck serves as the heart and soul, which attempts to be a thorough study of how someone can grow (or sink) to become Gotham City’s greatest cosplaying criminal menace.
This psychopath origin story structure is one of the numerous ways Joker tries to invoke the films of Martin Scorsese, who was initially attached to the project as a producer. But only in style is it at all a resemblance of the work of Scorsese.

“Is it just me or is getting crazier out there?” It’s a legitimate question that Arthur Fleck, a troubled clown-for-hire, asks the social worker assigned to his case. Garbage spills out on to the avenues and alleyways of the urban wasteland he lives in. The news is filled with stories about plagues of “super rats” and filth and crime and horribleness. You can’t even twirl a going-out-of-business sign in a fright wig without getting jumped by young punks and having the snot beaten out of you. One day,...

For its final DVD Emmy screener, “Family Guy” is taking on its biggest target yet: The “Game of Thrones” juggernaut.
The “Family Guy” mailer, now being sent to voters, features Peter Griffin, looking a lot like Jon Snow on the Season 8 poster of “Game of Thrones.” At his foot, Brian the dog is doing his best direwolf cosplay. (Scroll to the bottom to see the full screener image.)
“Due to a printing error, if you wish to vote for ‘Game of Thrones,’ please check the ‘Family Guy’ box on the animation ballot,” the screener reads.
“If you look very closely, amidst the artwork is a Starbucks cup,” joked “Family Guy” executive producer Rich Appel.
Appel said the show ran the screener gag by HBO to make sure they were Ok with it — and to make clear that, no, “Family Guy” was not actually condoning voter fraud.

Part of the Jerry Lewis tribute A Mubi Jerrython. In Hardly Working, Jerry Lewis, as Bo Hooper, is Making America Goyish Again. Made in between The Day the Clown Cried and Jerry’s Telethons for Muscular Dystrophy, this is Jerry’s first (seen) attempt to wed issues of Jewish /outsider identity, and Americana with the desire for artistic or political legacy. Opening with a montage (of other movies): Jerry toots his horn in a greatest moments' super edit. Bracketing the sequences is the typewriting scene in Who’s Minding the Store?. Though it is not a film Jerry directed, it is the only clip shown piecemeal that conspicuously shows craft. The poetry of his comedy, seemingly effortless, credited to hard work.This gaze extending into the past introduces an artistic defense that Jerry makes for himself. In a late career pivot Jerry Lewis (re)directs himself in Hardly Working as a less hapless,...

Part of the Jerry Lewis tribute A Mubi JerrythonI. Jerry Langford walks. Broadway and 51st, East 53rd, West 57th. He cuts a figure at one with his surroundings, in tune with the come-and-go ambiance—the ephemerality—of the city. He is of the people, a pedestrian among countless others. Or not. ‘Jerry Langford, right?’ The woman stops him, a magazine in her hand—as if it might, at any moment, become a weapon. ‘Oh Maurice,’ she tells the payphone into which she’s speaking, ‘please hold on.’ She asks Jerry to sign the magazine, showering him in praise, talking her way into talking more. ‘Oh Jerry,’ the woman continues, an improvised ambition swelling in her. ‘Please say something to my nephew Maurice on the phone. He’s in the hospital.’ That’s it: guilt the philanthrocapital out of them. ‘I’m sorry,’ Jerry replies, ‘I’m late.’ No sooner has...

Chicago – Jerry Lewis had a long and winding life, dying last week at the age of 91. Through that life he had many show business lives – including the inevitable addictions – surviving all of the them with his signature comic style. He also was featured in over 70 films, and HollywoodChicago.com remembers three of them.

When the gawky 19 year-old Lewis met the suave singer Dean Martin in 1946, little did they know that they would become the most popular act in America for several years, and make 16 films together between 1949 through 1956. Their box office draw was white-hot, so much so that neither of them could keep up with the blur of what happened to them. “Martin & Lewis” eventually broke up at the height of their fame in 1956, during which Martin famously said, “Jer, when I look at you,...

I annoyed Jerry Lewis once by asking him about The Day the Clown Cried, a movie he starred in and directed in 1972, and then refused to release. "It's awful," said Lewis of the Holocaust drama in which he starred as a circus clown who entertains Jewish children as he leads them to their deaths in Nazi gas chambers. Why not show it and let the world decide? "I'm ashamed of it," Lewis told me flatly. When I pressed him, he flashed a look that could be subtitled "End of Discussion.

By the late 1970s, Jerry Lewis was becoming perilously close to being a has-been. After decades of celebrity – first in his successful partnership with Dean Martin, then later on his own as the star of comedies like Rock-a-Bye Baby and as the auteur behind epochal hits such as The Nutty Professor – the gifted comic filmmaker and host of the annual Labor Day Muscular Dystrophy telethon started experiencing a series of stumbles. He shelved his much-ballyhooed drama The Day the Clown Cried, about a German clown living in the Nazi concentration camps,...

The 400 Blows. Courtesy of ShutterstockFor many directors, casting decisions are a crucial part of the writing process. They set the parameters in which the character can develop itself. Fundamentally, a good casting decision can make a character transcend its own scripted ambitions into wonderful, unexpected territories. But bad casting, as we know, can cripple not just a character’s potential but the entire film. It’s hard to talk about casting choices as creative decisions since they are so ingrained within certain creative impulses—the decision of choosing a particular actor over another can be based on mere gut feeling, a hunch, or an intellectual response. But of course, it can also depend (as it often does in large budget films) on an actor’s status, reputation or his or her monetary value. As we get to know actors, we see them typecast or cast against type but sometimes...

“Heavenly shades of night are falling…it’s twilight time”, and we’re not talking about sparkly teen vampires. No, those lyrics from the Platters golden oldie could very well be used as the theme for this movie, and perhaps its iconic lead actor. As many “golden age” film stars reach their “golden years”, they often look toward a project that may be the perfect coda to their long career, maybe a farewell to their screen persona. Hey wouldn’t you rather ride into the sunset with The Shootist (as John Wayne did) than headline a flick called Trog ( Joan Crawford’s finale’)? Perhaps this is the case for fabled film funny man Jerry Lewis. At the tail end of the “golden age” of Hollywood (1948), he and then partner Dean Martin ruled the box office for eight years. After their split, Jerry had even greater success as a solo for a good twelve years,...

Martin Scorsese talks about the making of The King of Comedy with Vanity Fair‘s Simon Abrams:
I didn’t really understand where I stood in relationship to the film, the story, Rupert Pupkin, and Jerry Langford, too, until I was in the process of making the film—the shooting, the editing. I don’t think I necessarily liked what I found. What I mean is: I saw myself in Rupert, on the surface, as somebody that came from that appreciation of early television of the 50s—particularly New York variety comedy shows. Steve Allen, Jack Paar. These personalities were so vivid and so strong that they became something very new to me.

When asked about their inclination for kidnapping comedies, Joel Coen recently told Variety, “I’m not sure why. They are all very different. We should probably give that a rest.” He and Ethan Coen are responsible for three of the finest kidnapping comedies ever made, and are perhaps adding a fourth to their résumé this weekend.
The addition of comedy into a crime story is hardly a new prospect, but the kidnapping comedy is a wonderfully specific little nook in this often darkly funny cinematic world. The Coens practically own this genre — if you can call it a genre –having covered and re-covered it in such uniquely different ways.
Their fourth kidnapping comedy (although I doubt they would refer to any of these films as such), Hail, Caesar!, follows a Hollywood studio fixer (Josh Brolin) whose work life begins to unravel after the kidnapping of one of his biggest stars,...

The role of the comedian in film has never been a particularly noble one. Often reduced to mere comedic relief despite the arduous nature of live performing, they receive, as the great Rodney Dangerfield said, “…no respect, no respect.”
Here’s an attempt to change that as we give our respect to those who made us laugh so hard while they themselves were perhaps trying not to cry. The following ten films detail the lives of comedians of various styles and backgrounds. They’re not all traditional, laugh-out-loud comedies, though each one indeed contains incredibly clever and uproarious moments of levity. They capture the desperate fear of failure and the euphoria of success that every performer yearns for and fears with equal vigor.
Ahead of the release of Entertainment, enjoy the list, please recommend your own suggestions in the comments, and don’t forget to tip your waitress!

Not every film that crashed and burned at the box office in the 1980s goes on to become a cult hit. But that’s exactly what happened to Martin Scorsese’s The King Of Comedy, which is adding another impressive achievement to its legacy: A Broadway musical. Yes, the story of stage-door autograph hunter and aspiring stand-up comic Rupert Pupkin (Robert De Niro) who sees a chance to make his career dreams come true by kidnapping successful comedian and talk show host Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis) and holding him until the authorities wrangle him a guest spot in Langford’s TV stage, is headed to the Great White Way.Hedwig And The Angry Inch lyricist Stephen Trask and Rock Of Ages writer Chris D’Arienzo are on hand to adapt Paul Zimmerman’s script, which chronicles Pupkin’s misadventures.

There has always been an understated rivalry between the mediums of movies and television. Many years ago it was even thought as being somewhat of a drastic career letdown if actors/actresses from film decided to depart for the landscape of television. The truth is that for some performers that had stalled or uneventful momentum in motion pictures that the concept of “slumming it” in television actually saved their show business profession. Hence, the boob tube made them relevant whereas the big screen had unceremoniously passed them by.
However, there is also a mutual respect that cinema and television share that go hand in hand when shaping our appreciation for entertainment on both the big and small screen. When movies depict the aspects of the TV world giving a sociological, psychological or emotional perspective then it is not so uncool to be a proud couch potato after all, right? Let...

“A 34-year-old messenger still living at home, Rupert Pupkin (Robert De Niro) dreams of becoming a stand-up comedy star. To force fate’s hand, he stalks and kidnaps his idol, the TV talk show host Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis). Martin Scorsese’s 1983 movie “The King of Comedy” not only told a story but identified a malaise. Call it Pupkinitis.”

“A 34-year-old messenger still living at home, Rupert Pupkin (Robert De Niro) dreams of becoming a stand-up comedy star. To force fate’s hand, he stalks and kidnaps his idol, the TV talk show host Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis). Martin Scorsese’s 1983 movie “The King of Comedy” not only told a story but identified a malaise. Call it Pupkinitis.”

Something always felt a bit out of place for me in Martin Scorsese’s brilliant “The King of Comedy”, just released on Blu-ray for the first time. I couldn’t put my finger on it but chalked it up to it being thematically ahead of its time in its investigation of the cult of personality that defines modern entertainment.
That’s a part of it. But one of the special features on this release—“Tribeca Film Festival: A Conversation with Martin Scorsese, Robert DeNiro and Jerry Lewis”—finally clears up another thing that always felt off about “Comedy”. It’s not an ’80s movie. As Scorsese says, it’s a film that somehow snuck into the ’80s but clearly feels more at home in the more-auteur less-Hollywood cinema of the ’70s. In many ways, it’s one of the last of those flicks, films driven by auteurs with social visions.

The best movie culture writing from around the internet-o-sphere. There will be a quiz later. Just leave a tab open for us, will ya? “Irrational Treasure” — There are a lot of Nic Cage thinkpieces floating around now with Joe being a surprise for anyone who forgot that Cage is a brilliant actor, but Alex Pappademas at Grantland explores the past decade in order to parse career choices that would have made some people forget that Cage is a brilliant actor. “Whatever Happened to The Late Night Guest Host?” — Like Tony Randall filling in for Jerry Langford, Mike Ryan at Screen Crush looks to the changes in the media landscape (and in the late night game itself) to find out why Kermit the Frog isn’t interviewing Vincent Price anymore. “Are good vibrations in store as cinemas amp up film experience?” –Betsy Sharkey at The La Times notes how theaters are turning back to the fourth dimension to...

The King of Comedy
Written by Paul D. Zimmerman
Directed by Martin Scorsese
USA, 1982
It’s understandable if some viewers were a little surprised to learn Martin Scorsese was behind the comedic masterpiece that was last year’s The Wolf of Wall Street. While many of his films have had their fair share of black humor, he had never made what could be considered an outright comedy. The closest he had in the past was The King of Comedy, out now for the first time on Blu-ray. But this is no casual laugh riot. Quite the contrary, this 1982 film is among Scorsese’s most challenging features. Even with a dose of straight comedy, particularly early on, the film’s key themes and the increasing desperation of its primary characters are far from simply comical. Instead, The King of Comedy ends up as a cultural commentary wrapped in a darkly humorous veil,...

Academy Award® Winner Robert De Niro*, Jerry Lewis and Sandra Bernhard give mesmerizing performances in this “chilling black comedy” (TV Guide’s Movie Guide) that explores the painfully high and often hilarious price of fame. Desperate to be a star, struggling stand-up comedian Rupert Pupkin (De Niro) enlists the aid of his fanatical friend Masha (Bernhard) to kidnap talk show host Jerry Langford (Lewis). The ransom? A guest spot for Pupkin. The results? Outrageous! The King of Comedy stands as Scorsese’s prophetic masterpiece which confronts a celebrity culture that “looks more disturbingly current with each passing year” (Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide). *Actor, Raging Bull, 1980; Supporting Actor, The Godfather Part II, 1974.

"Dads leave, you don’t have to be such a pussy about it." – Tony Stark, 'Iron Man Three'
Greetings from the apocalypse! Free Comics? An "Iron Man" sequel that doesn't suck? Genre festivals, eccentric painter docs and serial killer biopics? Have I been irradiated and gone to heaven? Nope, it's all happening man, it's all happening …
Friday, May 3
Pow! In Theaters
As a raving fan of Shane Black and Robert Downey Jr.'s first collab, the neo noir comedy "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," I had hoped that this director/star combo would hit it out of the park with "Iron Man Three." Well, frankly, Shane hit it out of the park and into the stratosphere, mesosphere, ionosphere, etc. Pulpy, groovy, bang-up fun, this is the best cinematic iteration of ol' shellhead yet, and while Joss Whedon got the quipy part right in "Marvel's The Avengers," this one perfectly balances...

Robert De Niro was crowned king of closing night at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival. The New York-based film fest, which De Niro co-founded in 2002, ended its 12th incarnation with a special screening of "The King of Comedy," Martin Scorsese's 1983 black comedy about a celebrity-obsessed comedian (played by De Niro) and the lengths he goes to achieve fame.
"I haven't seen 'The King of Comedy,' I don't think, for at least 25 years," De Niro, 69, said before the screening at the Borough of Manhattan Community College on Saturday night. "I'm very curious to see it. If I'm not too embarrassed, I'll stay here after."
Fortunately for the attendees, De Niro did stay, as did Scorsese and co-star Jerry Lewis. The trio sat down with screenwriter Ted Griffin ("Ocean's Eleven") for a 30-minute discussion about the classic ... comedy?

Robert De Niro, Martin Scorsese, and Jerry Lewis all walk into a room together. There's no real punch line to follow that, just Lewis's brand of slapstick yucks, which had the sold-out crowd at the closing night of the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival in hysterics. The three legends were on-hand to screen a digitally restored version of “The King of Comedy.” The dark comedy classic -- about wannabe stand-up comic Rupert Pupkin (De Niro), who harasses celebrated talk-show host Jerry Langford (Lewis) for a shot at glory -- was a box-office failure when it first hit theaters in 1983. Since then, it has developed a cult following and is now considered one of Scorsese and De Niro's most underrated collaborations. “I haven't seen ‘The King of Comedy' in twenty-five years,” De Niro said, before the film began. “I'm very curious to see it. If I am not too embarrassed, I will stay here after.

The Tribeca Film Festival will close with a new restoration of "The King of Comedy," the 1983 Martin Scorsese film that happens to star Tribeca co-founder Robert De Niro. The disturbing black comedy, in which De Niro plays obsessed stand-up comic Rupert Pupkin, who kidnaps talk-show host Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis) and demands a spot on Langford's show, won largely rave reviews but has grown in stature since its initial release. The film has been given a digital 4K restoration by Scorsese's Film Foundation, Regency Enterprises and 20th Century Fox. According to...

The dark comedy, among Scorsese's most noteworthy and well known collaborations with star (and Tribeca co-founder) Robert De Niro, the film follows standup comedian Rupert Pupkin (De Niro) and his obsessive attempts to land himself on the talk show of his idol, Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis). “Twelve years ago when we announced the first Festival, it was Marty’s idea for us to feature Restored and Rediscovered films.

In Jerry Lewis' original "The Nutty Professor," when his nerdy Julius Kelp transformed into oily, abrasive lounge lizard Buddy Love, many viewers thought Lewis was making fun of his old partner, Dean Martin, but he was actually skewering himself. Buddy was the monster he feared success had made him become. Twenty years later, Lewis got to star in "The King of Comedy," a movie about a Julius Kelp who yearns to become a Buddy Love and then, horrifyingly, gets his wish. Here, it's not just fame, but the mere pursuit of it, that transforms Rupert Pupkin (Robert De Niro) into a monster. In this movie, fame is like a communicable disease that Rupert wants to catch, and he does so by forcing himself on Jerry Langford (Lewis), a TV star who has become something of an aloof jerk precisely to protect himself from hangers-on like Rupert. Lewis' understanding of...

One of the most fascinating things about Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy is how closely it can be compared to the film he did seven years earlier, and yet how different the two films are perceived. Taxi Driver is looked at as a violent psychological thriller while The King of Comedy is described by many as a dark comedy. Robert De Niro's performance in King of Comedy, as aspiring stand-up comedian Rupert Pupkin obsessed with talk show star Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis), holds so many similarities with that of Travis Bickle, and I don't think it's a stretch to say Pupkin, in many ways, is actually scarier than Bickle. In this sense, I wrote above how "many" consider King of Comedy a dark comedy because, in many ways, I think it's every bit as scary, if not more so, as Taxi Driver. Both films could be looked at as character studies,...

On March 16, The Friars Club presented an 86th birthday celebration honoring Jerry Lewis. The sold-out event saw hundreds of Lewis fans packed into the fabled 92nd Street Y on Manhattan's upper East Side. The show was hosted by actor/comedian and fellow Friar Richard Belzer (Lewis is the club's "Abbot"). Belzer waxed eloquently about the impact Lewis has continued to have on generations of comedians. He then showed some truly fascinating clips from director Gregg Barson's recent documentary Method to the Madness of Jerry Lewis. Then Lewis was introduced to a standing ovation. At 86 years old, there were few signs that age had taken its toll on the comedy legend. He walked a bit more cautiously and his hair was flecked with gray, but he cut a fit figure for a man of any age. Lewis and Belzer indulged in some predictable shtick, with Belzer taking most of Lewis' acid-tongued insults.
