The King of Comedy
Rupert Pupkin is a delusional aspiring comedian with one consuming dream: to perform on the late-night talk show of his idol, Jerry Langford. When the star dismisses him, Pupkin's obsession spirals into a disturbing quest for fame. This dark satire on celebrity culture masterfully blurs the line between ambition and madness, immortalized by the chilling mantra: 'Better to be king for a night than a schmuck for a lifetime'.
