Summer of '92

Remember the summer when Ullevi was boiling, when Tomas Brolin scored a dream goal against England and the Danish team went from being a lost cause to standing at the top of the award podium? Kaspar Barfoed does and he's directed this irresistible film about the greatest Danish football miracle ever. We get to meet the legendary goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel and the glamorous brothers Laudrup, but at the core of the film is the distrusted trainer, Richard Møller Nielsen, who was out for the count and humiliated, but who then succeeded at overcoming all hinders. Summer of '92 was to an extent recorded in Göteborg, and the result is a classic sports film brandishing nineties aesthetics and teeming with intoxicating football nostalgia. (Göteborg Film Festival)
