You learn little by way of hard facts about the adored French soccer star and famous head-butter Zinedine Zidane in the formalist exercise that bears his name.

To see everything boiled down to one man's stillness and movement is a transcendentalist high, a concentrated dose of poetry in motion.

fresh:
He's set apart not only as the piece's sole subject but because he's hyper-alert, continually responding to invisible forces, raptly focused on events beyond the frame.

Alternately hypnotic and irksome.
