024 - Next Goal Wins, Ferrari

Christmas maybe over, cinephiles never stop and The Chronicle Episode 024, The Peoples Movies is here for your audio pleasure. I do hope you all had a good time regardless if you celebrate the day or not. Hosts Paul Devine and Clotilde Chinnici chat about Next Goal Wins and Ferrari.

Both films released in UK and Irish cinemas on Boxing Day, 26th December. First film up for review is Takia Waititi's Next Goal Wins starring Michael Fassbender. Inspired by the 2014 Documentary of the same name and the true story of the American Samoan national football team. In 2001 the team found themselves destroyed thanks to a 31-0 defeat from Australia in a world cup qualifier. Absolutely deflated by the score, the team want to do one thing, score a goal. They look to Thomas Rongen (Fassbender) a football coach not having the best of times in Major League Soccer as the man to deliver what they want...A goal!

The second and final film for this episode is Michael Mann's Ferrari starring Adam Driver as our titular character Enzo Ferrari the former Formula One driver turned car company he built over a ten year period with his wife Lara (Penelope Cruz). It's 1957, not all is well with , bankruptcy looming over them, and a marriage falling apart like the walls of Jericho. Enzo throws everything on the line with hope the iconic Mille Miglia, a treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy to save the company.
