Wrestling
Michel Brault, Claude Jutra, Claude Fournier, Marcel Carrière / Canada / 1961 / European Premiere / 28 min.
synopsis
With his creative concept, the creator of this film about wrestling completely exceeds simple match reporting. The viewers have more information than the fans in the hall and can assess not only the match, but also the reaction of the spectators. The music selection (Bach, Vivaldi) also draws attention to the fact that it’s more like a theatrical production.
