Case in point, Sam “Ace” Rothstein (<strong>Robert De Niro</strong>), the central character in <strong>Martin Scorsese</strong>’s<strong><em> Casino</em></strong> (1995) who brings hard-won street smarts and ruthless clarity to his job as casino boss. He is less clear-eyed when it comes to his hustler-addict wife (<strong>Sharon Stone</strong>) and unhinged mafioso best friend (<strong>Joe Pesci</strong>), both of whom sow chaos with every move.&nbsp;</p><p>Eva takes us inside the film that brings us the violent, stylish, and desperate world of 1970’s Vegas. We learn how Scorsese’s filmmaking in <strong><em>Casino</em></strong> inspired many of the techniques she used in <strong><em>Flamin’ Hot</em></strong>, how she cut her directing chops, and the parallels she sees between her own Texican heritage and the Italian American experiences at the center of so many of Scorsese’s films.</p>","author_name":"Film That Blew My Mind"}
