'The King of Comedy' is Scorsese's misunderstood masterpiece
For a movie about a failed standup comedian, The King of Comedy difficult to watch. Rupert's delusions of success are funny at first but then grow cringe-worthy — and then dangerous.

It would be difficult to describe Martin Scorsese's fine new film, The King of Comedy, as an absolute joy.
