'The Irishman' is Martin Scorsese's second Netflix release of 2019, a year in which the cinematic statesman has emerged more vital and relevant than ever.
His aesthetic influence is even more palpable in Todd Phillips’which an uncredited Scorsese was involved with in its early stages. There is no small irony in the fact that, in reverse-engineering a tortured origin story for a classic comic-book villain, this movie explicitly references and even mimics “The King of Comedy” and “Taxi Driver,” in part by featuring De Niro in a key role.
