Another kind of New York story—the kind that helped fashion Scorsese’s reputation—was the basis of the acclaimed GoodFellas (1990). Adapted from Nicholas Pileggi’s nonfiction Wiseguy, this knowing portrait of small-time Brooklyn mobster Henry Hill’s life and crimes (scripted by Pileggi and Scorsese) was as authentic as any Scorsese film since Raging Bull. Ray Liotta played Hill, and Paul Sorvino, Joe Pesci, Lorraine Bracco, and De Niro excelled in their supporting roles, particularly Pesci, who won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Hill’s short-tempered friend Tommy DeVito. Scorsese displayed his mastery of the medium in new and unexpected ways, especially in a much-studied tracking shot that followed Hill through a crowded restaurant. Scorsese was again Oscar nominated, both for directing and, with Pileggi, for best adapted screenplay.
The commercially successful Cape Fear (1991) was an ultraviolent remake of a suspenseful 1962 film. Nolte starred as Sam Bowden, a Southern lawyer whose family is terrorized by ex-con Max Cady (De Niro), who blames the lawyer for his prison conviction and seeks revenge. Screenwriter Wesley Strick’s script complicated the premise of the original by making Bowden culpable on several levels, from his framing of Cady 14 years earlier to his current infidelity to his wife (Jessica Lange).

Cape Fear’s success enabled Scorsese to attract the big budget he desired for his 1993 version of Edith Wharton’s novelThe Age of Innocence. A lovingly rendered, subtly acerbic portrait of New York City’s upper crust in the late 19th century, the film revolves around the unconsummated love affair between sensitive lawyer Newland Archer (Daniel Day-Lewis) and Countess Ellen Olenska (Michelle Pfeiffer), whose separation from her brutish husband and general flouting of convention are a scandal proper society cannot tolerate. In a more subtle role, Winona Ryder excelled as Archer’s deceptively vapid fiancée, May, who understands far more than she lets on. With his most fluid camera work yet, Scorsese demonstrated that his sensibility—thought by some to be too coarse for such refined period themes and nuances—had an extremely wide range. Scorsese and screenwriter Jay Cocks were Oscar nominated for best adapted screenplay.
The 1970s Las Vegas morality tale Casino (1995) marked the return of the GoodFellas talent pool, reuniting Scorsese with screenwriter Pileggi and actors De Niro and Pesci, but it did not receive the critical acclaim or commercial success of the earlier film. Casino had an epic running time of just short of three hours, and the De Niro-Pesci pairing had little of the chemistry seen in GoodFellas. However, the film had excellent supporting performances (especially by Sharon Stone, Alan King, James Woods, Don Rickles, and Dickie Smothers). Kundun (1997) followed; it was a respectful, handsomely mounted biography of the 14th Dalai Lama that proceeded at a stately pace, unspooling through the remarkable events of his life, commencing with the Dalai Lama’s discovery as a two-year-old who had become the vessel for the previous Dalai Lama’s spirit and ending with his escape from Tibet in 1959.
Bringing Out the Dead (1999) starred Nicolas Cage as a New York paramedic who is beginning to crack under the stress of his job and offered some of the same surreal nighttime ambience as Taxi Driver. The film had one of Cage’s more effective performances and costarred Patricia Arquette, John Goodman, and Ving Rhames.
