The Wrestler

I saw the new film starring Mickey Rourke, called "The Wrestler"

Anyone else seen it?

Really recommend it...a serious character portrait.

Compelling, well acted, well scripted and well directed.

It's a film I really want to see!

Darren Aronofsky is one of my favourite directors, and his previous efforts (Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain) were very good films... and I've heard good thinks about The Wrestler, too

I'll have to catch it at the cinema, as it's released in January.

Pi and especially Requiem were very good films. Not seen The Fountain yet but have it on DVD to watch.

For the record, I saw The Wrestler on a legit preview copy belonging to the promo company that a mate works with, not a dodgy Chinese DVD!

Yeah, I enjoyed Pi, and Requiem was a very powerful movie!

That said, I absolutely loved The Fountain, and thought it was the best of his movies to date.

Radio Times' review...

The Fountain is one of the most original and extraordinary films of recent times.... those who stick with the movie will be rewarded with a profoundly rich experience about the meaning of life, death, love and immortality. The performances and music brilliantly complement Aronofsky's philosophical musings in one of the most haunting, perplexing and visually stunning films since Stanley Kubrick's 2001: a Space Odyssey

5/5
