Virile Games
Virile Games (1988)
, 18minutes
Directed by Jan Švankmajer
Genres Comedy, Animation
Themes Sports films, Association football films

Le film se base sur le visionnage d'un match de foot par un homme dans une pièce abondamment décorée de posters et différents objets liés à l'univers du football. Le film consiste en une succession d'images archives montrant les réactions de supporters durant un match et d'images animées surréalistes. L'acteur qui joue le spectateur derrière son poste de télévision joue aussi l'arbitre, les joueurs, les médecins et les croque-morts dans les passages surréalistes. Le film suit une certaine mécanique propre au cinéma de Švankmajer : une série de photos de joueurs colorés montées de manière énergique avec en fond des commentaires de présentateurs brouillés, puis une chorégraphie jouée par les joueurs avec le ballon, puis la destruction d'un ou plusieurs joueurs. Švankmajer s'amuse à détruire des portraits de glaise à l'image du spectateur de toutes les manières imaginables (visage arraché par une ventouse, démolition à coups de marteau, tête passée au hachoir, etc.). Le score du match progresse à mesure que les joueurs sont détruits. Les joueurs ainsi anéantis sont mis sur des brancards puis dans des cercueils aux couleurs de leur équipe, qui intègreront également les séquences surréalistes. On voit les réactions du public passionné en archive et le spectateur souvent montré en train de manger ou boire.

The drama primarily focuses on the relationship between assistant manager Jimmy Murphy and the young player Bobby Charlton. The film begins in the autumn of 1956 as Murphy gives Charlton his first chance to play a match with Manchester United's first team, nicknamed the "Busby Babes" due to their unique pedigree as an almost entirely club-nurtured team of players, with the exception of a few slightly older players who have been purchased from other clubs.

Origin Iran
Genres Drama, Comedy, Comedy-drama, Documentary
Themes Feminist films, Politique, Sports films, Association football films, Political films

Most of the characters in the film are not named. A girl disguises herself as a boy to go attend the 2006 World Cup qualifying match between Iran and Bahrain. She travels by bus with a group of male fans, some of whom notice her gender, but do not tell anyone. At the stadium, she persuades a reluctant ticket tout to sell her a ticket; he only agrees to do so at an inflated price. The girl tries to slip through security, but she is spotted and arrested. She is put in a holding pen on the stadium roof with several other women who have also been caught; the pen is frustratingly close to a window onto the match, but the women are at the wrong angle to see it.

John (Reece Dinsdale) an ambitious young police officer, is sent undercover into the hardcore football gangs to track down the 'generals' - the shadowy figures who orchestrate the violence. His team of four gradually ingratiates itself into the lives of The Dogs, the nickname that Shadwell's fans give themselves. The main site for this is The Rock, a public house around which The Dogs' lives revolve. Gradually, the hard drinking, hard fighting macho world - where Saturday's match and Saturday's rumble are all that matters - proves irresistible and John slowly finds himself turning into one of the thugs he has been sent to entrap.

Actors Vinnie Jones

Sortie en octobre 1992, cette vidéo avait fait couler beaucoup d'encre en son temps. Vinnie Jones, l'un des joueurs les plus durs de l'histoire du foot britannique y commentait les carrières et des actions des joueurs présents et passés, connus pour leur jeu dur tels Graeme Souness, Bryan Robson, Nobby Stile, Norman Hunter, Jack Charlton, Steve McMahon, Tommy Smith, Peter Storrie, Ron "Chopper Harris" et Billy Bremner. La vidéo était vantée comme celle qui montrait les actions les plus dures qu'une vidéo de foot n'ait jamais montré auparavant. Les commentaires de Vinnie, expliquant les astuces employées par ses confrères pour intimider leurs adversaires, surenchérissaient un ensemble déjà très controversé.
