Busan Winner, Bangladesh Oscar Entry ‘The Wrestler’ Heads to EFM With Indywood (EXCLUSIVE)
Bangladesh's Oscar entry 'The Wrestler' scores international sales deal with Indywood Distribution Network following top prize at Busan film festival.
The company, which maintains a strong presence across major markets including Cannes, Mipcom, and Hong Kong’s FilMart, aims to leverage its global network to secure worldwide distribution for the acclaimed feature. Iqbal H. Chowdhury’s debut feature focuses on the elderly wrestler/wrestling trainer Moju (Nasir Uddin Khan), an aging fisherman whose frustrations with his lack of recent catch lead him to challenge local champion Dofor (AKM Itmam). “In leaving much of his story up to intuition — and taking a climactic turn toward the surreal — Chowdhury crafts a scrupulous slow-burn drama about a kind of obsession that, despite being opaque, comes off as entirely tragic,” wrote Siddhant Adlakha, reviewing the film for Variety.
