Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait

[JackPotter100]

Bought this today for £7 and thought it would be worth a watch. Anyone seen it? What did you think?

[JoeWesthead]

Not seen it but Zidane: Like a Dream is film that I love. Interview with Zidane, match footage, a bit of history. Such an amazing player.

Music (by Mogwai) is by far the best thing about it.

As a concept, it's original, but frankly it's not that gripping. Not Zidane's best match by a long shot (not to spoil it, if you don't know what happens in the match).

Glad I watched it, as it's a fairly unique experience, but it's not a classic.

is this with mogwai music?

[JackPotter100]

It's impressive the stuff like little touches he makes that are so natural but for most of us would be a once or twice a game sort of thing.

I really like it, love Mogwai which helps ofc and Zidane probably my favourite non-utd player ever but I thought it was utterly captivating, couldn't take my eyes off it despite every rational part of me knowing it was really dull. Well worth a watch imo

And of course he also left a major legacy in chess. A minor variant permits a pawn to capture the enemy pawn immediately ahead of it with a headbutt to the chest once per game. This makes pawn chains much more exciting. :thup:

I'm not even sure it is original. I'm sure when it was released I heard that it had already been done in another country with another footballer. Naturally the details evade me

not seen it, but may have to

easily the best player of 'his generation'

I <3 Zizou
