2006 · TMDB 5.9 · Zidane, un portrait du 21e siècle

Directed by Douglas Gordon, Philippe Parreno

Halfway between a sports documentary and an conceptual art installation, "Zidane" consists in a full-length soccer game (Real Madrid vs. Villareal, April 23, 2005) entirely filmed from the perspective of soccer superstar Zinedine Zidane.

Why it matters

An experimental documentary that follows Zinedine Zidane through a single match, using multiple cameras to capture his every move, creating an intimate portrait of an artist at work.
