Football as Never Before

(Fußball wie noch nie)

Synopsis

Old Trafford, 12/9/70, as a middling Manchester United beat Coventry, eight 16mm cameras were trained by a German experimental filmmaker on United's number 11: the legendary George Best. Shot, edited and framed so that hardly any other players are visible, Best's beauty on the pitch is captured forever. In the year of his death, surely there can be no better tribute.
