The Scorseighties: In honor of the master's 81st birthday and the release of his new film Killers of the Flower Moon, the Roxy is proud to present an extended tribute to Martin Scorsese. We're showcasing 5 of his films from the 1980s--Goodfellas was filmed in '89!--a sustained burst of creativity and genius with few rivals in American cinema.
November 1: Raging Bull
November 8: The King of Comedy
November 15: After Hours
November 22: The Last Temptation of Christ
November 29: Goodfellas
The Last Tempation of Christ: Though it initially engendered enormous controversy, this towering achievement can now be viewed as the remarkable, profoundly personal work of faith that it is. This fifteen-year labor of love, an adaptation of Nikos Kazantzakis’s landmark novel that imagines an alternate fate for Jesus Christ, features outstanding performances by Willem Dafoe, Barbara Hershey, Harvey Keitel, Harry Dean Stanton, and David Bowie; bold cinematography by the great Michael Ballhaus; and a transcendent score by Peter Gabriel.
