The TVI Take
Darren Aronofsky's 2008 Mickey Rourke comeback film. The structural commitment to letting professional-wrestling-economy cognitive material, the body-on-the-line precarity of an aging performer, be the actual subject is canonical late-2000s prestige drama.
Rourke's Oscar-nominated performance and the Bruce Springsteen title track established the film's enduring cultural canonical position.
