Fever Pitch
Aroview: That most evergreen of English obsessions, footy, is here given a long, loving and belated tribute from a lifetime fan, adapting Nick Hornby's celebrated autobiography. Colin Firth gives a marvellously rich portrait of blinkered distraction as a beleaguered soccer fan whose romantic star rises and falls with the fortunes of the Arsenal team.
