Whites are perfectly leveled, never too gray, muted or contrasty. Michael Chapman's brilliant cinematography has never looked better than it does here, in this stark, crisp, textured BD release that restores Raging Bull to its original cinematic glory.

From the perspective of a non-pugilist, Scorsese was able to turn La Motta's life story into not just a boxing film, but into a dissection of a complicated and disturbed man, intricately detailing his rise to the top and subsequently meteoric downfall. Scorsese didn't get the sport, and wasn't terribly interested until a few years later when he discovered the proper angle from which he could approach the story. Scorsese was not a fan of the boxing genre when De Niro first came to him with La Motta's novel and thoughts of adapting it into film. So what makes Raging Bull such a classic? It's simple - this is a film where everything went right.
