The base scan has also captured film grain wonderfully, and Criterion's encode does an incredible job rendering it here. It also gives sequences illuminated by single light sources, like some of the shots in the passageways of the stadium locations, a fantastic boost. This also holds true for the Blu-ray edition, but the wider dynamic range offered here also helps bring out more subtle detail in the shadows, as found in sequences involving the jail cell near the film's end or in La Motta's club. This presentation also offered better nuance in the grayscale, which gives the picture a cleaner photographic look compared to the previous releases of the film. The base scan has captured every fine detail, with the digital presentation doing a terrific job of rendering it all here. Outside of areas where damage is intentional (like the home movie sequence midway through), I don't recall a single blemish or flaw ever drawing attention throughout the film's runtime, neither scratch nor mark. The release also features a standard dual-layer Blu-ray disc offering a 1080p/24hz high-definition presentation for the film.Īll around, the new restoration itself is incredible. The 2160p/24hz ultra high-definition presentation with HDR10 comes from a new 4K restoration scanned from the 35mm original camera negative. The film is presented on a triple-layer disc in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Martin Scorsese's seminal film Raging Bull returns to The Criterion Collection through this new 4K UHD edition.
