Raging Bull

Complicated. The plot feels disjointed at times, though that may just be due to how unstable LaMotta was. De Niro puts up an Oscar-worthy performance, though every character is well acted, and seem to have put their all into their roles. The main thing that made this movie for me though was Scorsese's directing. His use of lighting, fluids, and physical presence is truly masterful, and it's clear from the start just how well directed it is. 87
