Lull Magazine – “Robert De Niro: Raging Bull” – Issue #14, September 2003 – Turkish Edition

Description:

Lull was an independent Turkish culture, arts, and music magazine published in the early 2000s, focusing on alternative music, cinema, literature, and popular culture. Through in-depth interviews, album reviews, film criticism, and cultural commentary, it explored international music scenes and introduced Turkish readers to influential artists, filmmakers, and experimental cultural movements beyond the mainstream.

This Turkish-language issue, dated September 2003, is the fourteenth issue of Lull and features Robert De Niro on the cover, with imagery from his acclaimed film Raging Bull. The cinema feature examines De Niro’s celebrated performance as boxer Jake LaMotta and his longstanding creative collaboration with director Martin Scorsese. On the music side, the magazine explores King Crimson’s place in progressive rock history, the lasting influence of In the Court of the Crimson King, and the more stripped-down sound of The Power to Believe. Other articles examine Pet Shop Boys’ sophisticated urban pop and songwriting approach, and Broadcast’s experimental pop sound, particularly their album The Noise Made by People and relationship with Warp Records.

Further coverage explores Bob Dylan’s attitudes toward drug use during the 1960s and the controversy surrounding “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35,” alongside the influence of Jane’s Addiction on alternative rock, the band’s breakup and reunion, and their album Strays. The issue also examines Spiritualized’s distinctive blend of space rock, orchestral arrangements, and psychedelic music. Bringing together influential cinema, progressive rock, experimental pop, and alternative music, this issue reflects Lull’s eclectic editorial approach to culture in the early 2000s.
