Mickey Rourke movie considered best of the year.

I'm not too surprised - he kicked so much ass in Sin City that I've been anticipating a comeback. But the buzz from this new movie is tremendous, and it's won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival. From BBC:

The Wrestler has won the coveted Golden Lion for best picture at the Venice film festival.

The film stars Mickey Rourke as a has-been professional wrestler pitifully loath to throw in the towel. It marks Rourke's return from acting obscurity.

[...] The Wrestler, directed by Darren Aronofsky, drew praise from critics and the public alike.
