Film: The Wrestler directed by Darren Aronofsky


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1125849/

An interesting film about a washed up wrestling star struggling to make a living on the local circuit.  The wrestler is really well played by Mickey Rourke.  It a sad story of being past your prime, facing up to giving up the one thing you've done all your live.

None of this really gets resolved in the film, so it is a bit un-Hollywood in the ending - but that makes a pleasant change.
