aka: Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait

Film Synopsis

International football star Zinédine Zidane is the focus of this real-time documentary, which follows him during a football match in April 2005.  The Spanish league match pits Real Madrid against Villareal and takes place at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.  With 17 high-definition cameras trained on Zidane, the film captures every gesture the footballer makes and perhaps sheds some light on both the man and his sporting genius.
