“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

Robert De Niro teams up with director Martin Scorsese to create one of cinema’s eternal masterpieces. Nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, this contemporary classic is “ambitious, violent, poetic and lyrical” (The New York Times). De Niro turns in a powerful, Best Actor Oscar-winning performance as Jake La Motta, a boxer whose psychological and sexual complexities erupt into violence both in and out of the ring.

A biting biopic of toxic masculinity, power, and jealousy, the film is one of the most critically acclaimed films of the 1980s.  It’s a key work of Scorsese’s filmography that also highlights his collaboration with long-time editor Thelma Schoonmaker who won an Oscar for her work on the film.  1980, U.S. 4K DCP, 129 minutes. Rated R.
