Symbiotic cinematic relationships between actors and directors have been occurring since the days of silent movies, and many great teams have turned out some of cinema’s most memorable, one-of-a-kind creations. One such collaboration is director Martin Scorsese and actor Robert De Niro who had combined their efforts for four highly unusual and electrifying works before they came together on their fifth joint effort The King of Comedy. A black comedy with a concentration on the fridge element of show business fanatics who live vicariously through the star power of their objectified victims, the movie offers a queasy, unsettling look into that kind of off-kilter craziness and features a De Niro performance unlike anything he had acted up until that time.
