‘The Wrestler’ Wins Top Award at Venice

September 6th, 2008 in 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.
