Événement
Boxing Gym - New 35mm Print
(Fredrick Wiseman, USA, 2010, HD, 91 min) Boxing is a sport of contradictions. It can be bloody, hurtful and cruel, but at the same time it requires dedication, discipline, focus, a grueling work ethic, sacrifice, conditioning and ferocious demands on the body and mind. It's no wonder then that pioneering verité filmmaker Fredrick Wiseman (La Danse) turns his lens on the subject. Set in and around Lord's Boxing Gym in Austin, Texas, Wiseman's film proves plenty beefy in visual content, lingering on the dynamic training exercises of athletes from all age groups and walks of life. Adhering to the auteur's trademark fly-on-the-wall style, Wiseman presents us with one of his most meditative films, focused above all on the hypnotic repetitions of a training regimen.
