San Siro

If we accept the perception of football as a religion. then San Siro is holy ground. An “anatomy of a stadium,” as director Yuri Ancarani himself calls it, isn’t a commentary on the phenomenon of football as a substantive or clinical study of a place. From certain angles, San Siro reveals itself to us as a monstrous yet fascinating structure that employs countless people whose roles have been subordinated to a single purpose.Penetrating the bowels of the monster isn’t easy but this film anatomy of the renowned Milan stadium succeeded in doing just that.
