Raging Bull 4K UHD + Blu-ray
'Raging Bull' Director: Martin Scorsese (1980) Criterion Collection 4K UHD + Blu-ray | Director-approved 4K restoration
With this stunningly visceral portrait of self-destructive machismo, Martin Scorsese created one of the truly 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 middleweight boxer from the Bronx whose furious ambition propels him to success within the ring but whose unbridled paranoia and jealousy tatter his relationships with everyone in his orbit.
Thelma Schoonmaker’s Oscar-winning editing, Michael Chapman’s extraordinarily tactile black-and-white cinematography, and Frank Warner’s ingenious sound design combine to make Raging Bull a uniquely powerful exploration of violence on multiple levels—physical, emotional, psychic, and spiritual.
Special features include:
- Three audio commentaries, featuring Scorsese and editor Thelma Schoonmaker; director of photography Michael Chapman and music consultant Robbie Robertson; and boxer Jake La Motta and screenwriters Mardik Martin and Paul Schrader
- New video essays by film critics Geoffrey O'Brien and Sheila O'Malley
