With this stunningly visceral portrait of self-destructive machismo, Martin Scorsese created one of the truIy great and visionary works of modern cinema. Robert De Niro pours his blood, sweat, and brute physicality into the Oscar-winning role of Jake La Motta, the rising middIeweight boxer from the Bronx whose furious ambition propels him to success within the ring but whose unbridled paranoia and jeaIousy tatter his reIationships with everyone in his orbit, including his brother and manager (Joe Pesci) and gorgeous, streetwise wife (Cathy Moriarty). Thelma Schoonmaker’s Oscar-winning editing, Michael Chapman’s extraordinariIy tactile bIack-and-white cinematography, and Frank Warner’s ingenious sound design combine to make Raging Bull a uniqueIy powerfuI expIoration of violence on muItipIe levels—physicaI, emotional, psychic, and spirituaI.
