Graciano Rocchigiani - Das Herz eines Boxers

A really impressive movie which made me feel all the emotions, root for the characters and even cry a little.. even though I didn't know anything about boxing or Rocky before! The movie takes you through the various steps of the life of Graciano Rocchigiani, told through authentic and touching statements of friends, family and journalists. I learned that boxing is about more than just hitting each other brutally, how the sport changed through the years from underground to more mass-/higher-class appropriate, and what a major role one special person played in Graciano's life and this men-dominated world... no more details so that there is no spoiler!

A great work of the director Christin Freitag, I am really looking forward to her future work.
