    • Trivia
      This is born out of a love that co-director Philippe Parreno had as a child when he was watching football matches on TV. He would concentrate on his favorite player and assiduously try to watch as much of him - and just him - throughout the match.

    A 21st Century football film
    I can see why people had the criticisms of this film.

    Reading the title, I think most people expected a clips compilation of his best goals, assists etc. not a moving piece of cinema.

    I think this was a brave and ultimately rewarding effort to examine the greatest footballer of our generation in a different way and to enable you to make up your own mind rather than a narrator explaining it for you.

    Darius Khondji's cinematography was mind blowing and any of the shots of the film could have made an amazing photo in it's own right. The sound design was phenomenal and if you have fifty pro logic speakers in your sitting room then you will feel the full force of the Bernabeu and Zidane in a way that watching a football match on television never could.

    The only thing I can finish with is to say this film must be watched. Mere words can't express the emotions that this film creates.

    Zidane: A 21st Century Legend.
