Join us for live Q&As Screenings of Australian sports documentary, Ange & the Boss! The film follows Hungarian striker Ferenc Puskas' time in Australia and features football legend Ange Postecoglou.
The filmmakers will appear in person for a Q&A session before the film!
Ange & the Boss tells the improbable story of all time great Hungarian striker Ferenc Puskas and his time in Australia. Barely able to speak English and comedically overweight, he united and inspired South Melbourne Hellas to a dramatic NSL Championship win in 1991. Eating, drinking, and enjoying himself along the way.
His captain and protégé was Ange Postecoglou, now Tottenham manager and one of Australia’s most successful sporting exports. Ange and his Hellas teammates – including Paul Trimboli, Miki Petersen, Gus Tsolakis and Con Boutsianis – light up the screen with their love and appreciation for Puskás and the aura he generated.
The film has delighted audiences of all backgrounds. It’s fun and funny, poignant and reverent, and captures a lesser-known side of Melbourne’s history.
It’s a sports documentary, but it’s also a film about life in Australia. It’s about immigrant identity and belonging, gluttonous pasta consumption, and the broken window winder in Ange Postecoglou’s Datsun 200B.
