Ange and The Boss: Puskas in Australia
One of the greatest untold football stories ever. Genuinely astonishing, beautifully nostalgic and bloody funny. A pearler of a film. ” Santo Cilauro
Ange and The Boss tells the improbable story of all-time great Hungarian footballer Ferenc Puskas finding himself in Melbourne in the late 80s, coaching the Greek NSL team South Melbourne Hellas.
This special screening will be followed by a Q&A with directors Tony Wilson and Cam Fink.
Barely able to speak English and comedically overweight, he united and inspired the team to a dramatic championship win in 1991. Eating, drinking, and enjoying himself along the way.
It’s a sports documentary, but it’s also a film about life in Australia. It’s about immigrant identity and belonging, gluttonous pasta consumption, and the broken window winder in Ange Postecoglou’s Datsun 200B.
