Synopsis

With the help of cinematographer Maryse Alberti (Taxi to the Dark Side) and a reinvigorated Mickey Rourke, director Darren Aronofsky was able shake off the austerity of his last film, The Fountain, and channel the raw realism of the Dardenne Brothers. This move towards low-fi grit added traction to the story of a battered pro wrestler in 1980s New Jersey who, faced with retirement, reaches out to his estranged daughter (Evan Rachel Wood) and his favorite stripper (Marisa Tomei). Winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and nominated for two Academy Awards.
