Pelota

1983 · 47 mins

A documentary view of the Basque ball-game in which a small hard leather ball is hit against a wall. The film gives an impression of the game itself and of those who play it, not only the star performers (and the myths that surround them), but also those who just play in the streets and alleyways. The film sees the game it its cultural context and conveys the emotions and stories that are peculiar to the Basque country.

Directors: Ole John, Jørgen Leth

Cast: Jean-Pierre Laruche, Joseph Laduce, Cipriano Ruiz, J.M. Berasaluce
