UHD Review Raging Bull – Criterion UHD Blu-ray Review (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

Despite some critical praise with his follow up film, the musical New York, New York (1977), its box office disappointment drove the director into a drug fueled depression that almost took his life. Brought back from the brink by friend and frequent collaborator Robert De Niro, Scorsese decided to devote his energies to what he believed would be his final film, a biopic on the life of boxer Jake LaMotta, the Raging Bull.

Thanks for the review. Which of the special features are new?

Just the visual essays by Geoffrey O'Brien and Sheila O'Malley; much of the special features came from previous MGM home video releases with the exception of the Scorsese and Schoonmaker commentary, which was from the Criterion laserdisc.

Does this restore the original B&W United Artists Transamerica logo? It was kept only on the Magnetic Video release from 1981.

No it does not.

Neither did Last Waltz for that matter.
