Commentary
Gurinder Chadha, director, sees this as his most autobiographical film - although it has never been footballer. The film was shot in the district of London ( Hounslow ), where she spent her childhood and many extras are part of his own family. It Like Beckham belongs to a classic genre, the film whose message is: " no matter what others want you to be, do what you love if you're good at it "( Flashdance , Billy Elliot , ... There are many examples). In this well-marked record, Bend It Like Beckham manages to surprise, not its narrative but by the quality of its distribution, through its sub-themes (indianit a London family, women's football) and his humor.
Around Film
