Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait serves as a conceptual art piece that challenges conventional media consumption. By centering a figure of Algerian descent within a globalized, high-capitalism context, the film disrupts Eurocentric norms. However, the film's focus on a professional athletic environment limits its inclusivity, particularly regarding female, LGBTQ+, and disabled perspectives. Ultimately, the work explores movement and identity through a postmodern lens, succeeding in racial representation but falling short in demographic diversity.
