“Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos” (2006): “Grand beginnings do not guarentee graceful exits”
Notes: A fascinating yet surfacey documentary telling of New York Cosmos soccer team, who set the town on fire in the mid 1970s only to flame out and dissolve by 1985. Pele played for them as did many of the world’s greats. The teams history overlapped with my favorite period in New York, that of the blackout, the Son of Sam, Studio 54 and the birth of hip hop. Has all the right elements but little depth.
