Synopsis

In Scorsese's perceptive look at the extremes of celebrity worship, Robert De Niro is obsessive, would-be stand-up comic Rupert Pupkin. When not performing in front of cardboard cutouts of his idols, he stalks a TV talk show host (Jerry Lewis in an understated, brilliant performance). Eventually he teams with another unstable fan (Sandra Bernhard) to kidnap the host in a desperate attempt to win a spot on the show. Martin Scorsese---USA---1983---101 mins.

Scorsese's take on celebrity culture is even more relevant today in the era of American Idol and TMZ. Watch for the Clash as extras.
