“Best fighter I ever saw!” – The trailer for Robert Kolodny’s upcoming sports biographical drama, The Featherweight, has finally been released, nearly a year after the film’s world premiere at the 2023 Venice International Film Festival.
Check out the film’s official plot synopsis: “Set in the mid-1960s, the film presents a gripping chapter in the true-life story of Italian-American boxer Willie Pep—the winningest fighter of all time—who, down and out in his mid-40s and with his personal life in shambles, decides to make a return to the ring, at which point a documentary camera crew enters his life,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “Painstakingly researched and constructed, the film is a visceral portrait of the discontents of twentieth-century American Masculinity, fame and self-perception.”
The Featherweight is set to hit theaters on September 20th.
