FESTIVE ISLAND
Bastia, April 1978.
A Corsican team had reached the European Cup finals for the first time.
Furiani Stadium was set to host the first leg.
Jacques Tati went to film what was much more than a soccer match.
Louis!
Listen to me.
Go, Blues!
Long live Bastia!
Long live the Blues!
Are the nails okay? Come back.
Napoleon died at Saint Helena
He was found sitting on a whale
GO, BASTIA
Go, Bastia! We're the best!
Go, Blues!
Fifteen francs, 25 for two!
Personalized hats!
Karen is waiting for Béatrice at the podium...
Beautiful!
Go, Blues! Go, Bastia!
The die is cast. Bastia will win!
In the bleachers at Furiani
The fans go wild
Every time the Blues score a goal
All of Corsica cheers
EINDHOVEN, HERE'S YOUR CUP!
The UEFA Cup final between SC Bastia
and PSV Eindhoven.
The concern
is the field here at Furiani,
which is badly waterlogged.
Mr. Maksimovic, the referee,
has deemed the surface playable.
We accept that decision,
but we suspect that the outcome will be a toss of the dice.
Bastia! Bastia! Bastia!
Go, Blues!
The score in this first half
is zero-zero.
What's he waiting for?
Go, Bastia!
Go, Fanfan!
Why did he whistle?
We're gonna score. Just wait.
Joker!
Yellow card!
Go, Blues!
