Irma
NEW DOCS
Kick-ass archival footage and the performance of a song punctuate this short day-in-the-life study of former world champion of professional women’s wrestling, Irma Gonzalez. Shot in Mexico City, the film is a tender portrait of the multi-talented luchadora and an unusual meditation on athleticism and aging. The filmmaker surprises us with the contrast between apparent physical limitations and actual competitive strength. NK
