The Gymnast

Director: Ned Farr

USA 2006| 96 mins


Former Olympic gymnastic hopeful Jane is now in a loveless marriage and obsessed with her dreams of having a child. A chance meeting sets her on a new path – performing a Cirque Du Soleil-style aerial act with a mysterious and beautiful co-dancer named Serena. From a fog of despair to an exhilarating surprise, Jane ushers us along every step of her re-blossoming. The Gymnast is a multi-award winning, rare and honest portrait of sexual and emotional self-discovery, an unforgettable reminder that coming of age can happen at any stage of life. ‘It is one of those rare pictures that everyone should see.’ Jason A. Heidemann, Time Out Chicago
