...guide through that rough country as Kenneth Clark was through earlier centuries in Civilisation, after which The Shock of the New is patterned. But whereas Clark reflected an older, more urbane sensibility, Hughes, 42, is as brash and electric as his subject. He is sometimes seen in shirtsleeves; his blond hair is always unruly. Instead of Clark's patrician, High Church accent, Hughes speaks in a matey, sometimes too hearty Australian that lapses easily-and quite appropriately-into slang.

At the nearby Cedar Bar, Jackson Pollock caroused, Robert Motherwell discoursed, Willem de Kooning waxed disputatious.

Scorsese and De Niro have been here before: in the good brother-bad brother melodrama of Mean Streets, in the story of a troubled Taxi Driver searching for his blond goddess, in the musical tragedy of two big-band musicians playing king of the hill in New York, New York. And they have faced the same narrative challenge - how to build their vignettes of domestic brutality to a satisfying climax - without ever quite solving it. From the moment Raging Bull introduces its three main characters, the moviegoer knows all there will be to know about them. Jake is the loner...
