INFINITE FOOTBALL ★★★★★
|
Infinite Football had its UK premiere at The 15th Romanian Film Festival in London, in October 2019. After the screening, director Corneliu Porumboiu discussed the film and took questions with the festival director Ramona Mitrica and novelist, editor and scriptwriter Dr Mike Phillips OBE. <<The documentary shot in Vaslui, Porumboiu’s hometown, focuses on the life and ambitions of local eccentric Laurentiu Ginghina, who dreams of reinventing the rules of football. (...) The appeal resides in Porumboiu’s quietly persistent interrogation of his subject and the subsequent flowering of Ginghina’s theories and belief systems. He leaps with remarkable ease from football to Plato to Martin Heidegger to ancient Greek semantics. (...) Ultimately about the need “ to live in greater harmony”>>. (The Times) |
