Description: |
Martin Scorsese's acclaimed biopic of Jake La Motta, the boxing world champion who rose rapidly to fame but swiftly fell from grace. On the road to success, La Motta marries a beautiful young starlet, but the pressures of success soon make him paranoid and he ends up alienating both her and his brother Joey (Joe Pesci). Filmed in black and white, with brutal fight scenes and an Oscar winning performance by Robert De Niro. De Niro famously tailored his physical appearance to suit the role, putting on fifty pounds to portray the portly middle-aged La Motta. |
