The Wrestler – DVD

Description

Darren Aronofsky directs this independent drama starring Mickey Rourke as retired professional wrestler Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson, who had his heyday in the late 1980s as a headlining professional wrestler but is now reduced to eking out a living by performing in high school gyms and community centres in New Jersey. When a heart attack forces him into retirement, his sense of identity starts to slip away, and he is forced to evaluate the state of his life. But his fumbling attempts to reconnect with his estranged daughter and forge an ongoing relationship with exotic dancer Cassidy are overshadowed by his strong desire to get back into the ring, whatever the cost.
