A deceptively simple set-up: the director and his father watch a 1988 football match which the father refereed, their commentary accompanying the original television images in real time. A Bucharest derby between the country’s leading teams, Dinamo and Steaua, taking place in heavy snow, one year before the revolution that toppled Ceaușescu.
You can stream The Second Game on Criterion Channel and MUBI Amazon Channel.
The Second Game was directed by Corneliu Porumboiu.
