Scorsese, De Niro, Schrader – the brilliant trio behind ›Taxi Driver‹ – at their best! A spectacular biopic about the rise and fall of boxer Jake LaMotta.

The meteoric rise of Italian-American middleweight LaMotta is followed by a rapid downfall. His ventures after his retirement from boxing also fail miserably and eventually land him in prison. What might initially seem like a classic underdog story is revealed to be so much more: a black-and-white tour de force, a meticulously composed masterpiece right down to the dynamic fight scenes, and a harrowing picture of toxic masculinity. Robert De Niro delivered one of the defining acting performances of the 20th century and took Method acting to new extremes: to embody LaMotta’s downfall, he put on 26 kilos.
