Smashing mashine
Awarded at the Venice Film Festival for Best Director, Benny Safdie and A24 masterfully bring to life the true story of UFC champion Mark Kerr – from grueling training sessions to the heights of fame. In an era of no-holds-barred fighting, where there were no rounds, gloves, or forbidden moves, emerged American fighter Mark Kerr, played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Yet the price of glory was steep – constant pain and pressure tore apart his relationship with his partner, portrayed by Emily Blunt, and led him down a path of addiction to painkillers. Despite it all, Kerr left an undeniable mark on sports history, becoming a multiple-time UFC, Pride FC, and ADCC champion. One of the year’s most anticipated biographical dramas, The Smashing Machine hits Lithuanian cinemas on October 17.
