Review of Pumping Iron (1977) by Shwet J — 25 Apr 2011
An exceptional and surreal documentary, incredibly 70s from the music and clothes to the bleached sun of the Californian concrete outside the gyms.
As eye popping and bizarre as the bodybuilders are, itâ(TM)s the underdog stories and Arnieâ(TM)s charisma, wit and general uber alpha-ness that make it compelling and excellent. Surely a contender for best documentary film ever.
