A fitting award
US actor Robert De Niro on Saturday received a tribute award at the Marrakech film festival from the hands of his old friend, director Martin Scorcese.
Born in New York in 1943, De Niro’s career began on Broadway, before he discovered cinema at age 20. He worked on a variety of films with Scorsese — from Taxi Driver in 1976 to Casino in 1995.
The double Oscar winner’s ninth collaboration with Scorsese will be Netflix’s The Irishman, set for release next year. —AFP
