You’re listening to Saturday Night Popcorn, the podcast where we analyze the classics of cinema. In this episode, we’re going to discuss Cape Fear, the 1991 film directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte and Jessica Lange. Cape Fear is a psychological thriller that follows a convicted rapist who stalks and terrorizes his former lawyer and his family after being released from prison. We’ll talk about the characters’ motivations, the moral dilemmas, the tension and suspense, the visual style and soundtrack, and how Scorsese created a gripping and haunting film that explores the dark side of human nature.
*Spoiler Warning* As a general warning we discuss the film in detail and often will comment on scenes or aspects of the film that could spoil it for a listener who has not seen the film we are discussing.
