Gangs of New York

This week we enter a new era of Scorsese’s filmography with Gangs of New York, the first of many collaborations with Leonardo DiCaprio! This bombastic and stylish pastiche of 1860s New York is a rollicking good time, and we’re honestly a bit shocked that it’s not more commonly considered one of Scorsese’s true classics. We get into Leo’s bad hair, Leo’s bad accent, DDL’s bad hair, DDL’s good accent, the fantastic cinematography of Michael Ballhaus, and all the stories of how awful it was to work with Harvey Weinstein.
