The Art of Football

Photos by Lars Hinsenhofen and Harald Capota

“The whole knowledge of the human soul passes through a football field,” said Albert Camus

The Art of Football stars England’s best comedian, John Cleese. As a passionate football fan himself, Cleese takes us through the art of football with more laughs a minute than you’d ever expect...

...regardless of the type of sport.

It is an exciting journey through the creative world of football; an entertaining, instructional look into a sport that draws larger crowds than the Olympics, more money than Hollywood, and more media coverage than any politician.

The film explores the different facets of football and the arts, creatively and artistically. Director Hermann Vaske talks to football legends like Pelé, Franz Beckenbauer, Michel Platini, Kaká and Thierry Henry, as well as referee-legend Pierluigi Collina.
