Submission

About This Movie

So, 'Submission' (2017) is one of those bareback wrestling flicks that really captures a certain raw energy. The atmosphere is charged, almost palpable, with the sound of bodies hitting the mat and the grunts of exertion filling the room. The pacing keeps you engaged, moving from one intense bout to another without losing steam. What sets this apart is the authenticity in the performances; the wrestlers really seem to be in the moment, pushing boundaries both physically and emotionally. There’s a certain thrill in the very nature of the wrestling itself—unfiltered and unapologetic. The practical effects, while not flashy, serve their purpose well, immersing you in the action without distractions. It’s a slice of a niche genre, for sure, but there's something undeniably compelling about the whole experience.

This film has seen a few releases but remains somewhat elusive in collector circles, especially in its original format. Limited pressings and the underground appeal contribute to its scarcity, making it a piece of interest for those into niche wrestling-themed cinema. As a collector, you might find its blend of authenticity and raw performance particularly intriguing, especially if you appreciate the subtleties in this genre.
