Now, twenty years later, he ekes out a living performing for handfuls of diehard wrestling fans in high school gyms and community centres around New Jersey. Estranged from his daughter (Evan Rachel Wood) and unable to sustain any real relationships, Randy lives for the thrill of the show and the adoration of his fans. However, a heart attack forces him into retirement. As his sense of identity starts to slip away, he begins to evaluate the state of his life. He attempts to reconnect with his daughter and strikes up a blossoming romance with an aging stripper (Marisa Tomei - BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU’RE DEAD). Yet all this cannot compare to the allure of the ring and passion for his art, which threatens to pull Randy “The Ram” back into his world of wrestling. Directed and produced by Darren Aronofsky (REQUIEM FOR A DREAM). |
