Raging Bull review by JD
Intense and dramatic but not easy viewing.

If you think it was impressive that Renée Zellweger put on several pounds to play Bridget Jones you will be blown away by de Niro's commitment to this film. His performance is unquestionably outstanding and this film deserves to have the cult status I believe it to have. The boxer however was really not nice and this account of his life is quite difficult to engage with. There is no likeable character and no comfortable interlude between bouts of aggression and extreme jealousy. This film should be on a list of films to watch but not for idle pleasure.

Raging Bull review by Jawbreaker
A Classic Package

A fabulous blu ray disc, not only do you see Raging Bull in a whole new light, thanks to the power of high definition, it comes with an entertaining commentary and more extras than most current movies. These really give an insight into Jake, the film and the barriers that were in the way of this production. The print itself is remarkable, some aspects showing the limitations of the black and white film and cameras Marty utilised, but generally, on a whole it’s a stunning transfer. The iconic fight sequences are the highlight, reaching a new level of gruesome realism, confirming how brutal a sport boxing can be and the heart of Jake, who refused to go down despite heavy punishment during his classic bouts.

Tragic, violent, disturbing, these and many more words besides describe the journey we take with Jake LaMotta. A career defining performance from Robert De Niro and one all professional boxers seem to sympathise with. Shot entirely in black and white, it captures the era of the mid-40’s and beyond, with Martin Scorsese’s splendid directing. The film puts Rocky in its place, displaying more emotion and violence in one sitting than Sly’s series combined. A true classic.
