Infinite Football

Directed by the great Corneliu Porumboiu (The Treasure, 12:08 East of Bucharest), Infinite Football follows the travails of his brother’s friend, Laurențiu, a former football player now consigned to the life of a low-level local bureaucrat in his small Romanian town.
But Laurențiu has a dream, to revolutionise the rules of the beautiful game, and has come up with his own version, which Porumboiu seeks desperately to understand.

Delightfully deadpan and, according to Sight & Sound ‘hilarious and heartbreaking’, Infinite Football is a study of obsession borne out of thwarted dreams, introducing us to an unforgettable individual on a quixotic quest.
