CELEBRATES 40th ANNIVERSARY WITH ARCHIVAL LASERDISC COMMENTARY, FEATURING DIRECTOR MARTIN SCORSESE AND EDITOR THELMA SCHOONMAKER
NOW STREAMING ON THE CRITERION CHANNEL
Arguably the definitive boxing movie and one of the most stunningly visceral films ever made, Martin Scorsese's lacerating vision of self-destructive machismo stars an Academy Award-winning Robert De Niro in an intensely physical, career-best performance as Jake LaMotta, a fighter from the Bronx whose deep-seated anger and insecurities erupt in violence both in and out of the ring.
The stunning monochrome cinematography, kinetic editing by Thelma Schoonmaker, and memorable supporting performances from Joe Pesci and Cathy Moriarty come together in an operatic tour de force of bruising beauty.
On the occasion of “Raging Bull's” 40th anniversary, the Criterion Channel will also be presenting the commentary track from the film's laserdisc release, featuring director Martin Scorsese and editor Thelma Schoonmaker.
