Raging Bull | Underground Film Night: Obscure Super 8 & 16mm Movies | Berkeley

An emotionally self-destructive boxer’s journey through life, as the violence and temper that leads him to the top in the ring, destroys his life outside it.

After receiving mixed initial reviews (and criticism due to its violent content), it went on to garner a high critical reputation and now to a very large extent is regarded among the greatest films ever made, including by Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times, Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune, British film historian Leslie Halliwell, the American Film Institute, Time, The New York Times, Variety, Entertainment Weekly, Empire, Total Film, Film 4, and BFI’s Sight and Sound. It was listed in the National Film Registry in 1990, its first year of eligibility.

Director: Martin Scorsese
Writers: Jake LaMotta (based on the book by), Joseph Carter (with)
Stars: Robert De Niro, Cathy Moriarty, Joe Pesci
