Raging Bull (1980) - 45th Anniversary Screening

We're thrilled to be showing Martin Scorsese's Oscar winning masterpiece on the big screen this July in a pristine new 4K restoration!
'The story of a middleweight boxer as he rises through ranks to earn his first shot at the middleweight crown. He falls in love with a gorgeous girl from the Bronx. The inability to express his feelings enters into the ring and eventually takes over his life. He eventually is sent into a downward spiral that costs him everything.'
“Raging Bull” is the most painful and heartrending portrait of jealousy in the cinema; an “Othello” for our times. It's the best film I've seen about the low self-esteem, sexual inadequacy and fear that lead some men to abuse women. Boxing is the arena, not the subject. LaMotta was famous for refusing to be knocked down in the ring. There are scenes where he stands passively, his hands at his side, allowing himself to be hammered. We sense why he didn't go down. He hurt too much to allow the pain to stop." - Roger Ebert
