A unique, 90-minute study of a working man - Zidane playing for Real Madrid against Villareal in a Spanish premier league match in April 2005. Zidane's every move, breath and emotion was captured by 17 different cameras trained on him alone for the entire match, a project created by two artists, Turner Prize-winning Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno.

Magnificently edited, and accompanied by a majestic score from Scottish rock heroes Mogwai, this is not only the greatest football movie ever made, but one of the finest studies of man in the workplace - an ode to the loneliness of the athlete, the poise and resilience of the human body. Pictures the subject with all the detail, poise and human compassion of a Velasquez or a Degas.
