Seems somewhat indecisive

Rating: 7/10 (1 March 2020)

RAGING BULL is less a sports film than a study of physical and psychological violence, privilege, entitlement and abuse.
It's interesting to see the work of a matured filmmaker headed for GOODFELLAS while the Sturm und Drang of MEAN STREETS still shines through. At the same time, it feels like Scorsese is a tad lost. He tries to go for something else but doesn't quite know how to get there without the Mafia. In the context of his filmography, Scorsese seems somewhat indecisive.
