Zinedine Zidane Has A Documentary About Him

[Friday, September 15th, 2006]
ZidaneDocumentary filmmakers Douglas Gordon and Phlippe Parreno have spent 10 months with French soccer star Zinedine Zidane shooting Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

They were not surprised when the sensation shocked the world by headbutting an Italian defender in the chest during this summer's World Cup final in Berlin.

"I looked at his face (during the game's second half) and said to myself, 'A red card is coming,' " Parreno, who watched the final on TV, recalls. Gordon, who attended the France-Italy matchup at Berlin's Olympic Stadium, also sensed second-half danger as he saw distress increasingly etched on Zidane's face. "I saw some of the same rage I'd seen in the past," he said. "You could sense his frustration."
