Offside

Offside

‘Offside’ is an Iranian film about a group of girls trying to get into a men-only match between Iran and Bahrain in the World Cup 2006 Championships. That’s about it really. Does a lot happen?……not off the field. Iran wins 1-0 and that’s about it too. It’s all a bit strange. Possibly the culture differences didn’t make it work for me…..possibly….maybe it was just a little too ‘different’. Only one * I’m afraid.
