The Martin Scorseason: The King of Comedy

In the organizer's words:

After the "Wes Anderson Summer" comes "The Martin Sorseason"!

Hardly any other filmmaker has worked with so many legendary actors and actresses and at the same time produced masterpieces at such a high frequency as Martin Scorsese.

That's why we're taking the time this fall and winter to explore this man's deeply impressive filmography with you. From the boxing ring to the streets of New York, from eerie islands to the spheres of stockbrokers... he's taken us everywhere and shown us the dark side of the world. And was damn cool doing it.

We look forward to reliving movie history with you this week:

The King of Comedy

Comedian Rupert Pupkin thinks he's a big star and is the center of his dream world, in which showmaster Jerry Langford is his best friend.

In reality, he repeatedly ambushes Langford and tries to get into his show by any means necessary. Finally, Pupkin resorts to the extreme and kidnaps the star.
