But I have the DVD and watched at home (so much for the big screen). I noticed that mixed in with the crowd you mentioned were Hirshhorn free movie devotees, people who may have little understanding of what Zidane means to us footballers. I wanted to send them home but of course they'd done it before and made it before the rush...hardly fair. Ha! Anyway, love the blog. I am trying to burn the DVD footage to my computer but am having difficulties, but if I find success I will send you a copy. Take care.

That times two screening, plus maybe 50 to 100 people who left puts the total draw for one night at around 600 - 700. I agree, not bad at all (except if you're me and didn't get in).

I'm sure I will get to see it on DVD at some point and find a way to watch it. In fact, I think it probably will come out in the US. There are far more obscure movies available in this country.

It's not much of a review at all, since I was just trying to match the mood of the film, for good or bad. By the way, I did get the DVD from England: many DVD players can easily be changed to region-free state by entering a simple code that you can google for.

I need to come to grips that I am in DC, not New York and switch over from the Times to the Post. You may be overestimating the population of the Beltway, they all probably just came out to listen to Mogwai's soundtrack. Perhaps another showing will be announced as a result of Thursday?

Including in-depth interviews with the filmmakers and Zidane and a separate, hour-long feature on the film's production, the DVD offers some benefit over just seeing the film. It is an art film first, a sport film second, important for expanding the idea of portraiture in a new media environment. See http://www.theglobalgame.com/blog/?p=240. Cheers.
