    the fact that this vibrant collision of romanticism and realism is somehow considered a “lesser” Marty picture is a testament to the man’s inability to miss. despite its box office failure and lukewarm reviews (musicalphobia is real…), its sonic impact has loudly and…

    The idea of mournfully placing two lead characters/performances from a bleak New Hollywood abusive romance drama into a glitzy, artificial Old Hollywood musical melodrama environment is an interesting one and was clearly attractive to Scorsese as a chance to flex his…

    From its ferocious nihilism to its stylistic adoption by the likes of Joe Strummer, Taxi Driver has always had tendrils connecting it to the punk era, but I'd argue for including, of all things, this opulent tribute to, and travesty of, the MGM musical as one of Scorsese's…

    A true backstage musical, where the humans behind the happy (sappy) songs and beautiful melodies are flawed and tragic. Jimmy Doyle is, to borrow an old chitlin-circut joke, the kind of guy who would fart in the bathtub, turn around and bite the bubble. As someone who grew…

New York, New York, like most Martin Scorsese films, is about the trials and glories of making art.

Abandon your expectations of an orderly plot, and you'll end up humming the title song. The movie's a vast, rambling, nostalgic expedition back into the big band era, and a celebration of the considerable talents of Liza Minnelli and Robert De Niro.

It's not that the movie runs out of steam long before it has gone on for two hours and 33 minutes, but that we have figured it out and become increasingly dumbfounded.
