Bim bam boom, meet the Moreno sisters! Three women, three sisters, three professional luchadoras. Under the name Las Luchas Morenas they practice the Mexican national sport: wrestling! All three are part of the Dynasty Moreno: Rossy, Esther, and Cynthia are competitive wrestlers on the ring. But they also bring Lucha Libre into life, wrestling with knives, pig heads, flowers and feathers! Marie Losier‘s characteristic whirring camera swirls curiously around them and captures it all in a cheerful and musical tribute to fantasy, to the child in all adults, and to Mexican culture.

Using lots of long takes, the film takes it time wandering, giving it a humerous candid feel. With a soundtrack and cameo by John Lurie playing a ” vibrating bugged-out” versison of ‘Over the Rainbow’ giving it a jadded ‘beat-jazz’ feel.Read More »
