One of the most moving biopics of modern cinema.
Truly captivating and intimate portrait of one of Germany's most important yet too often overlooked boxing stars. Besides portraying Rocchigiani in all his complexity and ambiguity, the film also makes you reminisce the "good old days" of Berlin in the 80-90s where a sense of freedom ruled the streets and backyards. So it's not only something for boxing fans, but basically a fascinating glimpse into one of Germany's (and Europe's) most complex and defining eras of recent decades.
The fact that the biopic features many of Rocchigianis long time friends and family makes it even more intimate.
