The story involves Rose Chismore's youth. She flashes back and remembers her coming-of-age. Her recollections are sometimes less than sweet, particularly those of her troubled and alcoholic step-father. Her memories of Robin, her first-love, are much happier and she also recalls her colorful Aunt Starr -- who's visit is fun but also detrimental to her family's health. The setting of 1950s Las Vegas' bomb testing is increasingly significant to the development of the story.

実在のミドル級ボクサー、ジェイク・ラモッタの栄光と挫折の半生。試合シーンの壮絶な迫力は筆舌に尽くし難く、ボクシング映画としてのクォリティも高いが、あくまでも作品の根底にあるのは、自らの猜疑心によって妻や弟を失う男を描いた人間ドラマ。引退後のシーンのため体重を25キロ増やしてまで破滅型の主人公を演じきったデ・ニーロはアカデミー主演男優賞を受賞。全編のほとんどを占める白黒画面も美しい。

The very first full-length documentary on Scorsese offers an invaluable look at how he was perceived by his colleagues, and himself, in 1977. Catching Scorsese while he was in post-production on New York and editing The Last Waltz, British filmmaker Peter Hayden gets the manically hyper Scorsese to comment on his youth, his relation to his lead characters, and most importantly, his approach to direction. The doc doesn’t quite move at the pace of Scorsese’s revved-up speed-talking, but it does offer some real insight into his productivity in the 1970s, thanks to an impressive array of talking heads. Included are Scorsese’s collaborators Jay Cocks, Mardik Martin, Brian De Palma, Steven Prince (who co-produced this doc), and his mentor John Cassavetes. Also the performers, who discuss his working methods in detail — Jodie Foster, Liza Minnelli, and, of course, Robert De Niro.
