You might have seen movies about sports before, but we’re sure that you’ve never seen anything quite like Zidane – A 21st Century Portrait before – and that you’re going to be blown away by it. The film is a minute-by-minute “real time” study of the legendary French footballer during a 2005 Real Madrid game, with no fewer than 17 different cameras all trained only on him. The results are an extraordinary film about physical achievement and mental strength, all set to a pulsating soundtrack. Even those who don’t like football are likely to be dazzled by one of most original documentaries ever made.
