Raging Bull (1980)

An original United Artists b&w photo still RB-EL-10-34a from Martin Scorsese’s Raging Bull (1980).
 
Capturing the brutal aftermath of combat at its most raw and introspective. The image shows Jake LaMotta slumped against the boxing ring ropes, gloves still on, head tilted and eyes distant, his body marked by sweat, strain, and punishment. A harsh overhead light cuts through the smoke heavy arena atmosphere, isolating him in a moment of exhaustion and private reckoning amid the public spectacle.
 
This still distils the core of Raging Bull’s power: violence stripped of glamour and victory emptied of triumph. Scorsese’s stark monochrome cinematography reconnected the sport to its primal brutality, while the performance at its centre redefined how physical and psychological damage could be expressed on screen. The film stands as one of the great works of American cinema, an unflinching portrait of self-destruction, masculinity, and obsession, and this image remains an iconic representation of its uncompromising vision.
