| Raging Bull at Strauss Square Sunset Screenings |
Sunday, April 12
7:30 p.m.
Strauss Square
0.4 Miles from Museum Tower Dallas
#NearbyMuseumTower, AT&T Performing Arts Center and the Dallas Film Festival present a free screening of Raging Bull as part of this spring’s Sunset Screenings. Recognized as one of the best films of the 1980s, one of the best films about boxing, and maybe the best film of Martin Scorsese's career, Raging Bull is a film that he almost didn't make. Robert De Niro, who portrays 1940's middleweight champ Jake LaMotta, saw drama in the boxer's shaky rise and inevitable downfall. He pushed the sports-hating Scorsese to make the film. Shedding light on Italian-Americans’ fight for family and survival in mid-20th- century New York, don’t miss an outdoor screening of this incredible film. Haven’t seen Raging Bull? Here’s a preview of what to expect. Be sure to check AT&T Performing Arts Center in the event of a weather-related cancellation.
