| The French |
Borg, Lendl, McEnroe, Evert, Nastase, Noah, Connors: see the stars and go behind the scenes at Roland-Garros in 1981, a pivotal year in the pantheon of tennis.
Klein forges an up-close portrait of French Open pressures including the chaotic crowds, quaint security, shy stars and shouting show-ponies. Not merely a time capsule,
The French captures grand slam energy and all the angst and artistry of the game.
Witness John McEnroe warming up in a Carlton football jumper, Lendl refusing to go topless on the massage table, and glimpse the Australian players of the day. Both tennis fans and film lovers will find joy in this offbeat sporting document.
