Discuss 'Heleno' de Freitas in the TC Media area at TalkCeltic.net.

I just watched a Brazilian film called 'Helono', that is a must-see for any sports fan. An amazing story about a flawed Brazilian soccer player called Heleno de Freitas. It has to be one of the best I've seen in the genre. Not for everyone, though as it's in Portuguese and black and white, but I'd definitely recommend it.
Has anyone else seen it?
Here's a great story from the Guardian about the man himself: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2012/dec/11/forgotten-story-heleno-de-freitas
Brazil's George Best?
