Michael Cimino’s The Deer Hunter (1978) review by Gordon Gow for Films and Filming magazine, March 1979
Raging Bull began as Robert De Niro’s obsession, but the only man he believed could film it, Martin Scorsese, wasn’t interested—until the director’s near-fatal collapse gave him a visceral connection with the story of troubled boxing champion Jake La Motta.
