Rent Raging Bull (1980)


Raging Bull is arguably the finest work from the Scorsese and De Niro partnership. De Niro gives and amazing portrayal of a man whose animal side lurks just beneath the surface, ever ready to erupt. Vivid and unremitting in its uncompromising brutality and honesty, the fight sequences are famed for their realism.
Violent throughout, this film is a testament to Scorsese’s and De Niro’s skills, creating a thoroughly absorbing film about such an unlikable character. Renowned for throwing himself into the roles of his character, De Niro went on a diet to gain fifty pounds during production for the role of the faded star.

Raging Bull review by Jawbreaker

A Classic Package
(0) of (1) members found this review helpful.
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.

Raging Bull review by Jawbreaker

No prisoners

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.
