5 DVDS Worth Your Time
(2 of 2)
LONG BEFORE THE Aviator, Martin Scorsese was making epics about men with brutal allure who win the big prize, then spiral into dementia. This 1980 film (available alone or in a four-film set of prime Scorsese features) still packs a wallop as maybe the finest of all boxing dramas. For its silver-anniversary edition, the director has added six fascinating mini-documentaries and three audio tracks with no fewer than 13 commentators (including the film's subject, Jake La Motta, now 83). But the movie stands on its own, undefeated. It's psychodrama with grand-opera intensity and a knockout punch.--R.C.
