Raging Bull- 30th Anniversary Reprint!
Taking the "New Hollywood Cinema" movement roaring into the 80s, Martin Scorsese's blowtorch boxing biopic Raging Bull charts the rise and stunning fall of middle-weight champion boxer Jake La Motta (played, of course, by Robert DeNiro) whose uncontrollable temper made him a force to be reckoned with in the boxing ring but a dangerous beast outside of it. The tour-de-force direction by Scorsese includes such visual devices as having Jake fight in progressively larger rings to accentuate his diminishing career. Shot in dramatic black-and-white, evocative of William Klein's street photography, Raging Bull compels us to empathize with a brute unable to express his need for love or redemption except through violence. It may be, after all these years, Martin Scorsese's finest moment. Join us as we celebrate the film's 30th anniversary with this exquisite new 35mm print!
