#Prizefighter: The Life of #JemBelcher

La storia "vera" ( storicamente è tutto sbagliato, ho scoperto poi leggendo in rete) di uno dei primi campioni di pugilato del XIX secolo, agli albori di questo sport.
Se la storia pareva interessante, il film in se è ben poca cosa, con una fastidiosa fotografia che rende tutto "falso".

📝Voro: 5 /¹⁰
"Prizefighter: the life of Jem Belcher" di Daniel Graham, 106 minuti, 2022.
-All'inizio del diciannovesimo secolo, in un momento in cui il pugilato è una disciplina sportiva totalmente appannaggio dei re, un giovane e dotato pugile si dà da fare per diventare campione d'Inghilterra.- da themoviedb.org
