Cantona Review
Cannes film festival: This lively documentary about everyone’s favourite hot-headed footballer/unlikely Ken Loach star will give more than just fans a kick
TL;DR
- The documentary is a fan-service piece about Eric Cantona, focusing on his time at Manchester United.
- It features interviews with Sir Alex Ferguson, David Beckham, and Cantona's parents.
- The film avoids dwelling on controversial aspects of Cantona's career, including the karate kick incident.
- Cantona's post-football career in acting and his current pursuits in art are also covered.
- An interesting suggestion is made that Bernard Tapie may have inspired Cantona's hot temper.
