Raging Bull (1980)
Country: US
Technical: bw 119m
Director: Martin Scorsese
Cast: Robert de Niro, Cathy Moriarty, Joe Pesci
Synopsis:
The boxing career of Jake la Motta is brought to a close by an overweening violence in his private life and by his weight problem.
Review:
Despite the characters being ignorant, inarticulate, immoderate and profane, Scorsese's achievement is that after all this abuse at his hands we still find something in our hearts for this pathetic animal of a human being punching the walls of his cell. The ring scenes are shot and cut with unparallelled conviction, in mesmeric slow motion at times; the domestic ones are full of cross-purpose arguments that end in people shouting the same line four or five times.
