Raging Bull (Criterion Collection)

An Oscar-winning performance by Robert de Niro and poetic direction by Martin Scorsese highlight this riveting drama based on the life of middleweight boxing champion Jake La Motta. The superbly staged fight scenes are wonderfully complemented by a compelling portrayal of a man as furious outside the ring as he is inside. Joe Pesci co-stars as La Motta's brother, and Cathy Moriarty his young second wife. With Frank Vincent, Nicholas Colasanto. 129 min.
