The Art of Football from A to Z (2006) (TV)

John Cleese meets the beautiful game..., 22 August 2006
Author: João Ginete from Portugal
It is always a good idea to define something from A to Z. It is even a better idea to define Football (the one that is actually played with both a foot and a ball) from A to Z. It is obviously a fantastic idea to have Thierry Henry, Michael Ballack, Mia Hamm, Káká, Pelé, Arséne Wenger, Pierluigi Collina and Brigit Prinz explaining the beautiful game they play better than everyone (except Ronaldinho). The class and humour provided by John Cleese, with several references to the Monty Python legacy, works as intermission between the statements and the precious footage of amazing moments of the Football history. All in all, a pretty good documentary about the past, present and future of this sport that moves hordes of people around the World. By the way, no matter how much I admire Henry, he cheated on the semi-final against Portugal :P Ginete

A goal of Art!, 7 June 2006
Author: Juvenal Barraza (juvenni@hotmail.com) from Sweden
*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
The art of football, is besides the movie "Goal" the best movie about football, ever made. It is a good 110 minutes of entertaining from A to Z.
It features Monthy Phytons, John Cleese and his sidekick, talking about every possible aspect about football, there is. All from why American Football, is'not considered as football by the true pundits, to the origins of xenophobia in the sport.
The good thing about this movie, in my opinion, is that it lets Mr Cleese put in his Phytonesque humor, and balance with good clean learning about "the beautiful game". It has aired in all of Europe, and it is a TV-film, you have to see. Forget the B-movie label, this is definitively an A-Film!
