"Zidane. A 21st Century Portrait" Dir. Douglas Gordon & Philippe Parreno, score by Mogwai

talking about pushing the boundaries of music videos, i wonder if this will qualify.

"Turner Prize-winning artist and filmmaker Douglas Gordon teams up with French artist Parreno to create a work glorious in its simplicity: training 17 cameras, both HD and super35mm, all under the supervision of acclaimed cinematographer Darius Khondji, solely on footballer Zinedine Zidane, over the course of a single match between Real Madrid and Villareal. We see the legend in action and in repose, follow him around the pitch, sometimes at the centre of action, more often waiting, watching - while, in voice-over, the footballer himself broods over what he can and cannot remember from his matches. Magnificently edited, and accompanied by a majestic score from Scottish rock heroes Mogwai, this is not only the greatest football movie ever made, but one of the finest studies of man in the workplace - an ode to the loneliness of the athlete, the poise and resilience of the human body." from the site of the edinburgh festival, where the film has its international première (apart from cannes) on 16th august.

in-depth zidane musings here (via kottke).

"Intriguingly, in lieu of a storyboard, the only preparation the artists did with the crew was to take them to the Prado on the day of the game."

I didn't think much of it, certainly not in mv terms.
