Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait blurs that line between sport and art in a way that's pretty unique. Directed by Douglas Gordon, it’s not your typical documentary. You get to watch a full soccer match, Real Madrid vs. Villareal, but it’s all through the eyes of Zidane. The pacing can feel meditative—there are long stretches where you just absorb the atmosphere of the game and the tension of the crowd. It’s like being in the mind of a genius at work. The minimalist approach, paired with the haunting score, creates this surreal experience. Not just about the game, it delves into themes of focus, celebrity, and the physicality of sport. An unusual entry in any collection for sure.
