Despite never showing much interest in sports or boxing, director Martin Scorsese delivers an immersive and unflinching look at the violent side of the sport as well as LaMotta’s self-destructive paranoia and machismo. One of the greatest films about boxing ever made, Raging Bull transcends its roots and is a visceral look at a man who was as rough as the sport he excelled in.
