About This Movie

Baggio: The Divine Ponytail offers a reflective look at Roberto Baggio's life, spanning over two decades of highs and lows in soccer. The film’s pace is contemplative, almost meditative at times, which aligns nicely with Baggio’s own journey into Buddhism. You get a real sense of his struggles – from those early days on the pitch, when he faced skepticism and conflict with coaches, to his eventual rise above injuries and personal challenges. Letizia Lamartire’s direction brings an intimate atmosphere, while the performances feel genuine, especially that of the lead portraying Baggio. There’s a rawness to it all, capturing not just the accolades, but the deeper, more personal aspect of the man behind the legend.
