The film Casino marked a major turning point in Martin Scorsese’s career. After the success of his fact-based mob epic Goodfellas, he took a risk on an even more ambitious project: a dramatic recreation of Vegas casino crime in all its hellacious glory. With Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci reunited from their collaborations in Raging Bull, the movie was guaranteed to resonate with audiences hungry for violent and profane cinema. In a time when violent criminality was gaining traction in popular culture thanks to Quentin Tarantino and a host of millennial auteurs indebted to Scorsese, the gamble paid off. Casino became a blockbuster smash, grossing over $468 million worldwide.
