Content:
Pugilists and philosophers of all kinds converge in Frederick Wiseman’s mesmerizing documentary "Boxing Gym." Owned by a tight knot of muscles named Richard Lord, a trainer with a rasp in his voice and a rattail hanging down his neck, the gym is in a former warehouse with no heat and no air-conditioning. There are no frills here, just men, women and children of assorted colors, means, grace, beauty and abilities meeting among the heavy bags and peeling posters, their fists and feet drumming different time signatures ... Most of the film takes place inside, which, with the gym’s humble size, allows you to move into the space quickly. This sense of familiarity is accentuated by the camerawork, which narrows in on small zones in which the members hit a speed bag here, jump rope over there. [movies.nytimes.com]
