The Damned United

Post by greavsie's_daughter »

Anybody know when "The Damned United" (about Brian Clough's 44-day reign at Leeds) is coming to Adelaide? It got great reviews in the UK when it opened a few weeks ago.
Anybody seen it on their travels?

Very good movie - I have it in my collection. A shame that some of it is factually incorrect.

It's always claimed to be a fiction book based on fact.

Apparently a lot of fact in the film is bs. This is according to an interview in fourfourtwo though, so that might be bs.

after recording on foxtel and finally seeing this movie Michael Sheen does an awesome job of imitating Brian (his speech more than anything)

If you read the book, then it has a list of the autobiographies and biographies used as the basis for the film. So it's always going to be a conglomerate of many different views and opinions.
