The Wrestler

A powerful drama by Darren Aronofsky about a person’s stubborn need to feel needed, despite the reality of time passed and an aging body.

The story follows Randy “The Ram” Robinson — once a legend of professional wrestling, now performing for pennies in school gyms and small clubs. He lives in a trailer, works part-time at a grocery store, and tries to rebuild a relationship with the daughter he abandoned years ago. Deep loneliness and his attachment to the ring won’t let him fade away; when he’s offered a chance at a “farewell” match with an old rival, he once again reaches for the only place where he truly feels alive.

🥨 The discussion will be led by clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst, and psychology lecturer Irina Kozlova.
