It’s the off-season, so it seems like a good time to take a look at the documentary Messi, directed by Alex de la Iglesia. This movie is from 2014, but, since it doesn’t really follow his career on a year-by-year basis, it’s not really out of date.
De la Iglesia is a renowned Spanish filmmaker, who often films dark and mysterious movies that have been compared to Guillermo del Toro’s work. Needless to say, this is a change.
Curiously, the film is written by Jorge Valdano, an Argentine but also a former Real Madrid player and manager.
