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.

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

A great idea but terrible to watch. This film is not what I thought it would be. I love football and appreciate the game and all its beauty. You will see Zidane running and walking around the pitch doing mostly nothing but looking around. I kept at it in the hope that when he did have the ball you would be able to capture his play and body movement etc. Instead you are left frustrated that his play isnt captured as well as could and should be. I can see how a minority of people who appreciate art will like this. However for the average joe or even if you are like me and like things a little abstract, this documentary is just a little too much to take. the soundtrack and words included are also dilute and poor. believe me i really wanted to like this film but couldnt. A red card to philippe parreno :-/
