Bleak Street is Pro Wrestling

[Parties]

New movie from director Arturo Ripstein ("The Place Without Limits") is based on the true crime story of those two lucha minis who were murdered. Stars two real-life luchadors, but I'm not sure who they are/what their ring names be. The trailer shows them practicing together and both can clearly work.

 

 

I vaguely recall OJ hyping Ripstein in the 60s/70s threads of DVDVR film. Have not seen it yet, but it is playing in a theater in NYC. Reviews are mixed, but this is hella intriguing stuff.

Ripstein's Place Without Limits is an awesome, awesome film, but he's one of those genre filmmakers like Robert Aldrich. Not everything is going to be great. The trailer looked too much like Bela Tarr for mind, but isn't it based on a real story about prostitutes and minis? That automatically makes it more interesting.
