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 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

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.
