Riff Raff!

About This Movie

Riff Raff! presents a rather darkly comedic look at the chaotic world of Sunday league football. The film revolves around a manager who's as ruthless as he is eccentric, caught up in a philosophical debate with an exasperated referee over the merits of winning and losing. The humor is both sharp and absurd, with a cast of supporting characters—his team of misfits—who seem more intent on sabotage than sporting victory. The pacing feels almost frenetic at times, echoing the chaotic spirit of grassroots football, and there's a certain rawness to the performances that adds to its charm. It’s not polished, but that’s what gives it its unique flavor, a bit like an underdog team fighting against the odds.

Riff Raff! has had limited availability over the years, making it somewhat of a sought-after title among collectors of niche sports comedies. The film has seen a few independent releases on DVD, but it's rarely found in mainstream collections, which adds to its appeal. Fans appreciate the film's offbeat humor and its examination of the absurdities of amateur sports, and there's a growing interest around restoring and preserving such unique pieces that don't quite fit into typical categories.
