      Agreed! Easily my favorite looking Scorsese film he shot. Best use of his trademark hot spotlight effect ever I felt. And that color palette of emphasizing red, white & black in particular, so haunting. Also the various ways they photograph the ambulance racing down the street, seared in my brain forever. Especially when scored to The Clash, Van Morrison, etc.
