‘The Wrestler’ Wins Top Award at Venice

Posted on September, 2008 under Actors, Awards, Directors, Festivals

The Wrestler, starring Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei and directed by Darren Aronofsky, was awarded the Golden Lion today at the Venice Film Festival. The film centers on a wrestler (Rourke) forced into retirement. He sets into motion a romance with an aging stripper (Tomei.) It’s hard to see Tomei as an aging stripper; she looked so good in Before the Devil Knows Your Dead.
