The Cup

 

Dendy Films and Palm Pictures
A Coffee Stain Production
A Film by Khyentse Norbu 1999

What the Diegos reckon…

Prayer, discipline, celibacy and tradition…sounds like something straight out of the Sir Alex Ferguson coaching manual doesn't it?

But no, this is the basic game plan adopted by a pack of football crazy Tibetan Monks who star in the film, The Cup.

This is a wonderful and delightful comedy about the boys in habits with no bad habits trying to persuade the 'Gaffer' monk to rent a satellite television so they can watch some World Cup footy.

Diegos Verdict: Wholesome football loving fun… the Diegos guess that rules out Melbourne Knights and Millwill supporters then.
