Futebol

 

Brazil 1987, 240 minutes
Dir. Joao Moreira Salles
In English, Spanish
Genres: Documentary

Topics: Sport.

 

Aroview: A richly informative series of three documentaries about different aspects of futebol (football) in Brazil, mainly centred around the renowned 'Flamengo' club from Rio de Janeiro.

Considering the respective fortunes of those street kids who dream of being in the team, some new recruits, and the world of 1970s soccer star Paulo Cesar Lima ('Caju'), this ponders the world beyond the myths of the much-celebrated Brazilian obsession with the beautiful game, revealing it to be a complex infatuation and tinged with disappointment and compromise.
