Cassandro The Exotico!

Director_ Marie LOSIER

France 2018 73min DCP Color feature Documentary

Review

In Lucha Libre, Cassandro is its most eccentric star. He is the king of the Exoticos, the gender-bending wrestlers who fight prejudice in this macho-dominated sport. He is a many-times world champion, who pushes his body to its extreme limits. However, after 26 years, his body is in pieces and his confidence is faltering. But he just can’t stay away too long from the spotlights.
