raw depiction of shifting cultural ideology in Japan. fascinating divulsion into the brutal world of female wrestling which i had no idea existed in Japan. Logninotto offers a stripped back view, never appearing in front of the camera nor providing voiceover - an immersive experience, placing us in the eyes and headspace of Longinotto as she wields the camera. following the journey of a newcomer, we root for the underdog. experiencing both top tier wrestling and training, we question the morality of wrestling in the 2000s which was more of an MMA crossover. not one to miss.
