About This Movie

Football (2021), or 'Calcio' as it's known, is a curious little piece nestled in the heart of Tuscany. The film offers this intriguing blend of modernity and age-old tradition through the lens of Florence's Calcio Storico. It’s not just a sports film; it’s a reflection on culture, identity, and the kind of camaraderie that flourishes on the field. Rocca Dell’s choice to shoot in those stunning landscapes really amplifies the tension between the players and their surroundings. The pacing feels contemplative, almost meditative, as it immerses you in the atmosphere. You’ve got these four players, each representing more than just themselves, and their performances, while understated, are compelling in how they connect to this larger narrative of legacy and sport.

Set against the backdrop of Tuscany.Explores themes of tradition versus modernity.Interesting approach to character development.
