Review

 

Acclaimed as one of the greatest football films ever made, Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait is a unique real-time study of one of the beautiful game's greatest icons: Zinedine Zidane.

During an entire Real Madrid vs. Villareal match before 80,000 fans at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, 17 movie cameras under the direction of acclaimed cinematographer Darius Khondji (Se7en) were set around the playing field focusing solely on Zidane. With a soundtrack featuring the legend's thoughts and observations and a majestic score by Scottish rock band Mogwai, this extraordinary feature - conceived and co-directed by Turner Prize-winning artist Douglas Gordon and French artist Philippe Parreno - catches in stunning detail all the drama and excitement of a footballing genius in action.

Bold experiment with fascinating results, Zidane is in my opinion the natural successor to Maradona as best footballer in the world and to see his movement, vision and flashes of temper is a rare treat in this world of Sky TV fast cuts and focus on the ball.

Customer rating: 1 out of 5 stars Boring

Honestly, this is so bad that I was hoping Zidane got substituted at half time.
