"It's the best film I've seen about the low self-esteem, sexual inadequacy and fear that lead some men to abuse women." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"This is a masterpiece. It proves that a film can have violent undertones and overtones, but still illuminate and comment upon violence in a moving, poetic and profound way." - Bruce McCabe, Boston Globe
"This savagely authentic film about flawed masculinity is worth seeking out for another viewing if the summer's toothless blockbuster fodder is getting you down." - Wendy Ide, Times (UK)
Opens June 30 (one week only!) | Scorsese's blistering biopic of toxic masculinity, power, and jealousy dazzles on the big screen with this new 4K Digital restoration. In an Academy Award winning performance, Robert De Niro is Jake LaMotta, the middleweight boxing champion who was known as “The Bronx Bull” and “The Raging Bull” during his brief reign. Raised to steal, fight, and win by any means necessary, Jake evolves into a champion in the ring, and a brutish, abusive husband, friend and father outside of it. One of the most critically acclaimed films of the 1980s, and a fierce installment in Scorsese's filmography (one that illustrates the power of his years-long collaboration with editor Thelma Schoonmaker, who won an Academy Award for her work here), RAGING BULL is an biting, trenchant masterwork.
