Overview

Taking over Leeds United, Brian Clough's abrasive approach and his clear dislike of the players' dirty style of play make it certain there is going to be friction. Glimpses of his earlier career help explain both his hostility to previous manager Don Revie and how much he is missing right-hand man Peter Taylor.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A portrait of a brilliant, volatile man colliding with an institution that won't accept him, tense and character-driven, powered by charisma and the friction between vision and reality. The film captures both the exhilaration and the isolation of trying to reshape something fundamentally resistant to change.
