The Wrestler

Year: 2008

Size/Type: UK Quad / Double Sided (30" x 40")

Country of Origin: UK

Condition: Very Fine plus; rolled.

Director: Darren Aronofsky

Actor/Actress: Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood.

Comments: It's no coincidence that Mickey Rourke is responsible for the comeback performance of the year if not the decade. Rourke's life and tumultuous past parallel Randy "The Ram" Robinson's own life so eerily close it becomes clear that no one else could have ever played this role. Darren Aronofsky's fourth feature is not only his most intimate but also his most accomplished to date. Aronofsky offers his most simplistic film both visually and narratively and ends up creating a film that has more depth and layers to it than any of his previous films.
