Details: Product Description Co-winner of the Grand Jury Prize for the Best Dramatic Film at this year's Sundance Film Festival as well as the winner for Best Direction, GIRLFIGHT heralds in a new femininity for the new century. It marks the breathtaking debut of an incendiary new filmmaker (Karyn Kusama) and a ferocious new star (Michelle Rodriguez). Drenched in sweat, emotion and attitude, GIRLFIGHT is the riveting potrait of Diana, a fierce young woman who takes up boxing as a means to reconcile with her past and embrace life on her own terms. Amazon.ca Grand Prix of the Sundance and Deauville festivals in addition to having been selected by the Directors' Fortnight in Cannes, Girlfight, written and directed by Karyn Kusama, is an encouraging first step into the world of cinema for this young director. Diana, a young woman of Latin American origin who is having difficulty at school, lives with her father and brother in Brooklyn. In order to exteriorize her aggressiveness and escape her precarious situation, she takes up boxing. It is only through determination and courage that she will end up being respected in this masculine and eminently macho environment. A sort of female Raging Bull, Girlfight is a remarkable first film, a daring and powerful work where life is seen as a boxing match. Whoever wins in the ring will also win outside, but only at the cost of blood, sweat and tears. A very dynamic editing and soundtrack and fast and intense camera movements reinforce this powerful atmosphere. Supported by a young actress to watch, Michelle Rodriguez, who breathes an astonishing vitality into the whole, and by a fairly fine screenplay, Girlfight is a punchy, original and intelligent film, which knocks out a lot of prejudice. on his way. --Helen Faradji
