"Forza Bastia" is a 26-minute film documenting a UEFA Cup match between PSV Eindhoven and French club SC Bastia at the Furiani Stadium in 1978. Jacques Tati directed the piece at the request of friend Gilberto Trigano – the President of the Bastia club at that time. It was subsequently shelved and kept in storage until Tati's daughter Sophie Tatischeff eventually assembled the footage for release in 2002.

Tati with a cinema verite approach. Kinda nice to see his slice-of-life sensibilities shine when they can

Watched on 2x speed because there’s really nothing going on. It’s just a soccer game and I’m already not the biggest soccer fan. Just one more Jacque Tati film left.
