Seven days, 45 finalists, one World Champion. Shot on location in Las Vegas, Nevada, Rank takes us from the ranch to the arena for the struggle of the three highest-ranking bull riders competing for the title of PBR World Champion. The three contenders: Justin McBride, a third generation bull rider; Mike Lee, 21 year-old born-again Christian and 34 year-old Brazilian Adriano Moraes, already a two-time PBR World Champion, and now in the twilight of his bull riding career.

Rated 09 Jul 2014

The brutality of this sport (which exceeds that shown in THE SMASHING MACHINE in terms of the inevitability of serious injury) is filmed so as to emphasise the feeling of witnessing a sacrificial rite (with some Herzogesque organ music on the soundtrack; the music in general is great), part of a religion that might be America itself. It ends with the suggestion of something even more mysterious, something to do with our relationship to animality or to nature, or to terrestrial existence as such.
