Clint Mansell has renewed his partnership with director Darren Aronofsky for the score to award-winning film The Wrestler.Opening in the UK last week, The Wrestler has won plaudits around the world, not least for Mansell's delicate theme, that frames with great realism life beyond the ring for Mikey Rourke's character Randy 'The Ram' Robinson.

His unique approach to composing combined with the success and acclaim of his scores, has quickly made him an in-demand composer.
A chance introduction to Darren Aronofsky in NYC led to Mansell's film score debut, the independent movie, Pi (1998). This director-composer union continued with Aronofsky's ambitious follow-up, Requiem for a Dream (2000), his score for Aronofsky's The Fountain in 2006 prompted a Golden Globe nomination.
