Back by popular demand and during the 'international break', PARIS 75 returns to the big screen this November with a special Yorkshire Tour, taking in towns and venues who'll be showing the documentary for the first time. Including a post-film Q&A with the film's director, Harvey Marcus, this will be a night to remember about The European Cup Final They Tried To Forget.
PARIS 75 - The European Cup Final Football Tried To Forget
‘Moving. Powerful. Magnificent!’ - Adam Pope, BBC Sport
‘Enlightening and compelling.’ - Graham Smyth, Yorkshire Evening Post
‘Brutal and poignant.’ - The Times
Fifty years on, at each and every game, Leeds United fans still sing the same refrain, ‘We Are The Champions, Champions Of Europe’. PARIS 75 - The European Cup Final Football Tried To Forget, takes a unique look at a season and, ultimately, a match steeped in controversy and myth which defined the identity of a club, its supporters and, arguably, a city, that endures to this day; bringing to a crashing end an era in football never witnessed before or since.
As much about the history and heritage of football from a bygone age, PARIS 75 features rare and never-seen-before cine-footage taken by supporters who followed Leeds across Europe that season and exclusive home-video from Leeds United legend Paul Reaney; it is the story of female football supporting pioneers and early foreign travel, a film about football in the Seventies, with appeal to Leeds United fans and neutrals alike. It is a film for the fans told by the fans who were there - Roy, Carole, Rich, Margaret and Heidi; Leeds United and England legends, Paul Reaney and Allan Clarke, who played, and other key figures who witnessed that season and that final.
At a time when supporters have never felt so alienated and distanced from today’s supercar-driving, noise-cancelling players of today and the anonymous corporates who own their club, PARIS 75 is a timely reminder of what football used to be - the good and the bad.
