Raging Bull

It took me a long time to finally see this classic film. I had been holding out to see it on the big screen in a revival at an art house. I settled for the 32 inch tv which was ok but will definitely look for the big screen opportunity. Such beautiful composition! This film is absolutely gorgeous. I also loved the stillness of the soundtrack and long silences into which Jake has quiet conversations working out his lust and jealousies. DeNiro is absolutely stunning as the brute.
Memorable moment: Early on La Motta sticks his head out his apartment window to yell at a neighbor. The shot of him from outside framed by the brick is priceless!
