I was able to watch this hidden gem the other night and I was blown away. I haven't seen cinematography like this in a while and I honestly can't find much information about the directors or the cast. Really blew me away. Amazing score, emotional acting, all climaxing with one of the most heart pounding boxing scenes I've ever seen. Part surreal, part artful painting, part chaos. I recommend this movie to all lovers of cinema.
