The combination of personal and professional struggle is the core of BEYOND THE MAT. Blaustein spotlights professional wrestlers who are best known for being exaggerated figures, always larger than life, and shows us their humanity. Focusing on Mick "Mankind" Foley, Terry Funk, "Jake the Snake" Roberts, the Rock, Chyna, and other wrestlers, BEYOND THE MAT depicts remarkable, unscripted moments in lives that are often built on illusion. During the five years he spent working on the film, Blaustein discovered that the control wrestlers exert in the ring is often contrasted by the lack of control they have in their own lives. Blaustein travels on the open road with the wrestlers, shares their most intimate moments with their families, and witnesses their victories and defeats in the ring. Capturing the grit and the glory and the humor and the pathos of wrestling, Blaustein takes us beyond the spotlight, beyond the pain, BEYOND THE MAT. |
