Tonight, H and I went to the Wexner Center for the Arts, where Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait was playing.
In April, 2005, video artists Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno went a step further, training 17 cameras on Zidane for the length of a single La Liga game. The cameras were scattered all over the stadium, and recorded images ranging from intimate close-ups to beautiful long shots that take in the whole pitch; from unfocused collections of colors to more traditional, television-style action shots. Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait is the 90-minute compilation of those images and, for lovers of the game, it’s awe-inspiring. More an art film that a sports documentary, Zidane is something that must be experienced on the big screen.

Wow! He has been one of my favorite players for so long with such a magic touch on the ball, even though he was French (yes, Algerian, I know, but he played for the Frogs), and was stupid in the last game of his career and cost his team the world cup.
What did you think?

Love his languid style. My favourite player after platini and maradona.
