The Great Match
Gerardo Olivares 2006
Categories: Comedy, Feature Film, World Cinema
Average Rating:
Rated 0.0/5 Stars
My Rating:
Run time: 88 min. | aka: La Gran Final | Spain/Germany | Language: Kazajo Dialect (Mongolia), Tamashek (Niger) and Tupi (Brazil) w/English subtitles
The Great Match tells the adventurous story of three soccer fans – none of whom have ever met – but who nevertheless have two things in common: firstly, they live in all the farthest-flung corners of the planet and, secondly, they are all three determined to watch the TV broadcast of the 2002 World Cup final between Germany and Brazil. The protagonists in this ‘global’ comedy are a family of Mongolian nomads, a camel caravan of Tuareg in the Sahara, and a group of Indios in the Amazon. They all live 300 miles away from the next town – and the next television – making their task a particularly daunting one. Nevertheless, these inventive people possess the resourcefulness and the willpower to achieve their goal. In a world where access to information is seemingly simple and immediate, what happens in the most isolated places on earth? Intriguing stuff – and hilarious!
