Plot Summary:
|
Tyson is acclaimed indie director James Toback's stylistically inventive vignette of a mesmerizing Mike Tyson. Toback allows Tyson to himself without bar and with eloquence and a pervasive vulnerability. Through a mingling of case interviews and archival footage and photographs, a startlingly complex, fully-rounded person being emerges. The film ranges from Tyson's earliest memories of growing up on the in no way streets of Brooklyn through his entrance into the world of boxing, to his rollercoaster kill in the funhouse of worldwide acclaim and fortunes won and strayed. It is... the facts of a legendary and uniquely controversial worldwide athletic icon, a work out conjuring drastic questions of scramble and order. In its depiction of a check rising from the most debased circumstances to unlimited heights, destroyed by his own hubris, Tyson emerges as a stylish epoch story of deathless Greek tragedy.
