It would be difficult to dispute the fact that "The Miracle of Bern" is almost certainly the best football film ever (although to be honest, there are few rivals).
Meticulously detailing the German footballs teams success at the 1954 World Cup against all odds, Bern is a poignant, sentimental and gloriously choreographed delve into the history books.
Significantly dealing (through the eyes of a child) with post war life in a divided country still coming to terms with events in World War Two, The Miracle Of Bern is also a coming of age film which deals with the guilt, anger and suffering of the people in Germanys industrial heartland. At its core though this is simply a rollicking good underdog story, even if as England football fans will testify, it's the Germans who win again.
