Raging Bull has tons of repressed sexuality. The love scene where she gets him to a point of desire and he pours ice water on himself. That’s interesting sexually to me.

-Excerpts from Martin Scorsese: A Journey 

Raging Bull (1980)

Neither Director of Photography Michael Chapman nor Martin Scorsese could get the right look for the amateur LaMotta home movies. Both men gave in to their natural instincts for camera placement and framing, which was the antithesis of what they wanted to achieve. They solved the problem by asking teamsters working on the set to handle the camera in order to give the appropriate feel of amateur home movies.

When the real Jake LaMotta saw the movie, he said it made him realize for the first time what a terrible person he had been. He asked the real Vicki “Was I really like that?”. Vicki replied “You were worse.”

The scene where Vickie is first introduced to Jake by the chain-linked fence was completely improvised by Cathy Moriarty and Robert De Niro.
