Picturenose's James Drew puts his football allegiances aside (almost) to enjoy Ken Loach's latest.
And Cantona himself? A marvel, as you might expect - he's already won his spurs as an actor, and he's clearly having a great deal of fun playing himself here: 'I am not a man. I am Cantona.' In addition, there's a rare chance to see just how good he was - nothing short of magic on the field. There, I'll unclench my teeth now.
Gianni di Gregorio's sweet-as-a-daisy film features perhaps the most formidable set of elderly ladies since Katie Johnson et al took on Alec Guinness and his mob in The Ladykillers (1955) - Ferragosto is the time in Rome when the sticky, sweltering heat is all-consuming, and if you can get out, you do. Director Di Gregorio wrote the screenplay, directs and appears as the 60-odd (rather odd) Gianni who still lives with his mother (Valeria De Franciscis). In fact, stay-at-home sons are very common in Italy - they go by the name of mammone. All fine when you're in your 30s and enjoying mamma's home-cooking and cleaning, but the roles are reversed if you're still in situ at 60. Gianni puts up with his lot with good humour but, when first one, then two more mammas (Marina Cacciotti, Maria Calì, Grazia Cesarini Sforza) arrive to stay over the Ferragosto holiday, gratefully dumped there by friends who are owed a favour) it gets tougher and tougher for Gianni to stay, well, sane.
