Viewing Notes

Another blindspot film Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy (1983) lives up to its reputation. Really didn’t have much an interest to see this outside of needing to complete my project but I’m now converted. This is a stellar piece of work with an exceptional De Niro performance. Highly recommended if you haven’t seen it.
