9º – Best of the Best (Robert Radler, 1989)
We will be accompanying the preparation of an American Tae Kwon Do team for a martial arts tournament in South Korea. The film gains its substance by exploring the uncertainties, ghosts of the past and an exaggerated behavioral model of the lives of the team members. ‘Best of the Best’ is a film about the martial arts that walks in a different direction from the majority, bringing a story that prefers to work with the psyche building of the characters than, properly, with an intermittent sense of action. Lost Pearl of the 1980s. Still worth highlighting the punctual soundtrack and with a super motivational aura that falls perfectly to the film.
