EL CINE DE FUTBOL

The World Cup is just around the corner, and in this video, we analyze the business of passion: how Mexican cinema, television, and media have sold us on soccer in the lead-up to the World Cup. Why are Mexicans so obsessed with soccer, yet so hard at making good films about it? From neighborhood nostalgia and afternoons on Channel 5 with "Atlético San Pancho," to the raw satire of corruption in "Club de Cuervos" (Netflix), the classic comedy of "El Chanfle" (Televisa), "Rudo y Cursi," and the independent YouTube phenomenon "Pelusa Caligari." We also discuss world powers like Brazil and Argentina, the myth of the fifth game, and the upcoming film "México 86." Join me for this cinematic essay on Mexican soccer!
