Becoming Zlatan

Directed by Fredrik Gertten & Magnus Gertten

One of the most complex and gifted footballers on the planet (and certainly by his own admission), Zlatan Ibrahimović is the subject of this documentary which draws on rare archival footage tracking his debut with Malmö FF in 1999, through his dramatic (and often disruptive) years with Ajax and on to his real breakthrough with Juventus in 2005. An astute portrait of one of the world’s greatest – and most polarising – footballers, the film screens at HOME to celebrate Zlatan’s recent signing for Manchester United.
