Zidane, un portrait du 21e siècle (a.k.a Zidane, A 21st Century Portrait) is a documentary film in which Zinedine Zidane, the French football player is the main subject.

The film is a documentary filmed from Zidane's perspective during the Spanish Liga Real Madrid vs. Villarreal CF game on April 23, 2005 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium and was filmed in real time using 17 synchronized cameras.

Trivia

The film bears a remarkable similarity to Football As Never Before (aka "Fußball wie noch nie"), a documentary made in 1970 by acclaimed German filmmaker Hellmuth Costard about Manchester United footballer George Best. In this experimental film Costard used eight 16mm film cameras to follow Best, in real time, for the course of an entire game against Coventry City.
