La lutte

Michel Brault, Marcel Carrière, Claude Fournier and Claude Jutra (2005)

This vastly entertaining documentary explores the phenomenon of professional wrestling as it unfolds on the centre ring of the formidable Montreal Forum.

The directors succeeded in collectively creating an ethnographic film that captures an urban ritual in Quebec popularised in the 1950s and that which continues to draw in the crowds today.

In French, with some English, Italian and Russian dialogue.
