IMDB
New York, New York, is Scorsese's typical Hollywood telling of a love-hate relationship. As a director, Scorsese is fantastic at telling a story or opinion that is unpopular, which is probably why, at times, the film is quite difficult to watch- even to a modern de-sensitized audience. He makes us feel a real feeling of danger and threat between the two explosive forces of De Niro and Minnelli; really distressing us, as viewers, as we practically watch domestic abuse.
The
design features heavy use of painted scenery and back-cloths as well
as vulgar clashes of colours within the jazz clubs (purple and
yellow), adding I suppose to the uncomfortable watch that the story
had already established.
