Classic Masterpiece!

Rating: 9/10 (3 May 1999)

Even the best films of the 1990's can't compete with "Raging Bull". This is a classic masterpiece that completely avoids the sugarcoated melodrama of today's movies - both those coming from Hollywood and from Europe.

In an era of ugly, handheld "Dogme" films, "Raging Bull" shows the power of carefully crafted filmmaking. Scorsese's film is a rare example of what a true visionary can achieve - and it should serve as the cinematic inspiration of all aspiring filmmakers.
