Moonlight

Dir. Barry Jenkins
111 min

Raging Bull

Dir. Martin Scorsese
129 min

In the throes of a near-fatal drug problem Martin Scorsese made what he believed could be his last movie. Its subject: the Bronx Bull, Jake La Motta, a graceless but indomitable boxer who never quits beating himself up. De Niro has never dug deeper.

Silence
