The Wrestler

Winner of the Golden Lion at this year's Venice Film Festival, director Darren Aronofky's The Wrestler (2008, 105 mins.) stars Mickey Rourke in a career re-defining role as Randy "The Ram" Robinson, a battered and broken professional wrestler headed for his last piledrive. Rourke delivers a riveting performance as Robinson struggles to make amends for the past while facing an uncertain future.

 

Followed by a Q&A with Darren Aronofsky and Mickey Rourke.    

 

Public programs are made possible by a major gift from Ann and Jerry Moss.

Additional support is provided by Laura Donnelley, Bronya and Andrew Galef, and the Hammer Programs Committee.
