A Poet a City and a Footballer is this raw documentary that captures the essence of a fading Bengali filmmaker's struggle, as he seeks to document the life of the legendary P.K. Banerjee. The backdrop of Calcutta, often referred to as the 'City of Joy,' is not just a setting, but a character in its own right, adding a rich texture to the narrative. The film ebbs and flows with the emotions of its subjects, blending personal stories with broader themes of legacy and passion. There's a certain roughness to the pacing, mirroring the filmmaker's own journey. It’s this unrefined charm, along with the vibrant portrayal of both the city and its football culture, that makes the film stand out in the realm of sports documentaries.
