Abstract:
This stirring feature portrait of Lucha libre star Cassandro in his waning years in the ring is less a swan song than a meteor shower rendered in Technicolor. Famed as much for his flamboyant drag and sky-high pompadour as for his show-stopping kicks and flips, his trailblazing ascent as one the industry's first openly gay wrestlers has resonated internationally for a quarter-century.
