Lucha libre is a beloved form of wrestling that never lacks flair, and this year's Sundance Film Festival welcomed a luchador with glam to spare in Cassandro. Directed by Roger Ross Williams and co-written with David Teague, Cassandro is based on the true story of a luchador from Juárez named Saúl Armendáriz. Tired of playing the runt and always losing matches, not to mention tired of hiding his sexuality and romance with fellow wrestler Gerardo, Saúl decides to become an exótico. With the help of his trainer Sabrina, he takes his luchador character from a no-name loser to a flamboyant and famous winner.
