La nouvelle catch offers a raw glimpse into the psyche of a young man wrestling with his own demons while juggling an ambitious project. Set against the backdrop of the pandemic, it’s more than just a documentary about Peruvian wrestling; it's a personal narrative that echoes the French New Wave's spirit of experimentation. The pacing feels intentionally uneven, mirroring the protagonist's mental state, and the atmosphere is thick with tension and vulnerability. The editing style—fragmented yet fluid—creates an engaging rhythm that pulls you through his journey. It's a mosaic of life, layered with practical effects that highlight the surreal nature of his experiences and the wrestling culture, ultimately making it a distinctive exploration of hope and despair.
