MICKEY ROURKE

High And Low

Christopher Heard                        

Having become established as a global screen idol, respected actor and sex symbol during the 1980s, Mickey Rourke’s well publicised personal problems saw him labelled an uncontrollable maverick. These issues drove him to turn his back on acting to embark upon a brief but intense sojourn as a professional boxer. After retiring from the ring, Rourke set about re-establishing himself in Hollywood, a process that culminated with his portrayal of Marv, a lovelorn sociopath, in the big-budget adaptation of Frank Miller’s acclaimed Sin City graphic novels. Featuring extensive interviews with Rourke, Mickey Rourke High and Low, charts the trajectory of this unique actor’s amazing life.
