Wrestling With Life

Rating: 9/10 (8 March 2018)

Mickey Rourke's resurrection as an actor by playing Randy 'The Ram' Robinson in The Wrestler. A great piece about aging, loneliness, regrets, and finally atonement, reconciliation, finding peace and dignity.
Darren Aronofsky shows us life as it is with characters from everyday life on the "loser's sidewalk" of life. A great drama embedded in the world of the circus of small-scale wrestling, trailer parks, and small town suburbs and small dreams.
The Wrestler, next to The Fountain my favorite movie of Mr. Aronofsky. Masterpiece.
