Best Movie of the Post-Classical Era

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2000)

When reviewing american films from the past twenty to thirty years there is no doubt that Raging Bull is a standout amongst standouts. It is a film that encompasses every embodiment of motion picture art. The film is fueled with unbelievably dazzling editing (the best possibly ever!) and uncomprimizing performances (the same can be said) and unblinkingly focused direction by Martin Scorsese, who is undeniably the best american director working today. Raging Bull is the best movie made in quite sometime (especially since its release in 1980), and there are very few movies that can begin to scatch the surface of what it totally reveals. This film is definately not to be missed.
