En Stockton, ciudad de California, un veterano púgil en decadencia que sobrevive trabajando como jornalero agrícola conoce a un muchacho que quiere ser boxeador (Jeff Bridges) y se lo recomienda a su antiguo mánager, otro perdedor. "Fat City" es una expresión de la jerga boxística que quiere decir "Paraíso en la Tierra". (Filmin)

An existential drama set in the world of boxing, which follows the destinies of two boxers, the once-successful Bill Tully and the promising young Ernie. It's a nostalgic story that doesn't offer much reason for optimism, yet the film contains some humorous dialogue of sorts. The final scene in the bar over a cup of coffee, however, has a very depressing tone... In the end, I would like to add that Stacy Keach portrayed the role of a tough guy drowning his life's failures in alcohol exceedingly convincingly, and seeing Jeff Bridges at the beginning of his remarkable career was quite an experience for me.

This is one of those movies where you have a feeling that hope may die last, but here it simply died. It's like everything the characters do is leading only to struggling in what can still be considered life, but not in a nice way. It's as if they could never emerge from the depths, which could actually be even worse, ever again. Intense and, above all, well-acted. ()
