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.
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.
Films on these dates will be followed by a Q&A with directors Tony Wilson and Cam Fink.
