Raging Bull represents iconic filmmaking at its best. Since its initial release, the film has been named the greatest film of the 1980s, the greatest boxing film ever made, the greatest sports film ever made and one of the greatest films of all time.
Directed by Academy AwardÒ winner Martin Scorsese (GoodFellas, The Departed), and the finest work from the Scorsese and De Niro (The Godfather Part II, Taxi Driver) partnership, Raging Bull sees the amazing portrayal of boxer Jack La Motta whose animal side lurks just beneath the surface, ever ready to erupt.
Making their starring debuts are Academy AwardÒ winner Joe Pesci (Casino, GoodFellas) as La Motta's long-suffering brother and manager, and Cathy Moriarty (Analyze That, Kindergarten Cop) as his delicate-featured, abused child-wife, making Raging Bull vivid and unremitting in its uncompromising brutality and honesty.
The fight sequences are famed for their amazing realism, giving Raging Bull eight Academy AwardÒ nominations, winning two – Best Actor and Best Film Editing.
