Even most of his mobster movies aren't really about being depressed or Italian. Casino's main character is Jewish. Gangs of New York is about Irish Catholics and American Protestants. The Departed is about Irishes. The Wolf of Wall Street may be about depression (haven't seen it), but is not about violence nor about Italians. The Irishman certainly has a lot of depression, and certainly violence and Italians, but even then.....it's called the "Irishman". Goodfellas is probably the one prime example that is certainly about violence and Italians, and I'm not sure that's that depressed.
