- Great scene from the film "Looking For Eric" (2008) directed by Ken Loach. Tribute to "King Eric" Cantona.
Starring:
Eric Cantona as himself.
Steve Evets as "Eric Bishop"
Looking for Eric is a 2009 French/Belgium/British film about the escape from the trials of modern life that football and its heroes can bring for its fans. It was written by screen writer Paul Laverty and directed by English director Ken Loach. The film's cast includes former professional footballer Eric Cantona and former bassist with The Fall, Steve Evets.
Director Ken Loach said of the film, "We wanted to deflate the idea of celebrities as more than human. And we wanted to make a film that was enjoying the idea of what you and I would call solidarity, but what others would call support for your friends really, and the old idea that we are stronger as a team than we are as individuals."
Plot:
Eric Bishop is a football fanatic postman whose life is descending into crisis. Looking after his granddaughter is bringing him into contact with his ex-wife, Lily, whom he abandoned after the birth of their daughter. At the same time, his stepson Ryan is hiding a gun under the floorboards of his bedroom for a violent drugs baron. At his lowest moments Bishop considers suicide. But after a short meditation session with fellow postmen in his living room, and smoking cannabis stolen from his stepson, hallucinations bring forth his footballing hero, the famously philosophical Eric Cantona, who gives him advice. His relationship with Lily improves dramatically. Bishop finds the gun and confronts his stepson. Ryan admits to his involvement with the drugs gang, and Bishop attempts to return the gun to the gangster. He is forced to keep it himself, however, when a Rottweiler is set on him in his car. The gangster then posts footage on UA-cam of Bishop's humiliation. The entire family is then arrested by the police on a tip-off but they fail to find the gun. Eric Cantona then advises Bishop to seek help from his friends and to 'surprise' himself. Bishop organises 'Operation Cantona', sneaking dozens of fellow Manchester United fans - wearing Cantona masks - into the gangster's house and humiliating him and his family, threatening to put the video of their operation onto UA-cam, in turn. The movie ends at Bishop's daughter's graduation day, where the family re-unites in peace.

Probably the best 5 minutes of cinema about Football.
Best moments in british cinema? I don't like football but I love this film.
2019 oh ah
Yes 👍👍👍
This is how football should be. F*** Modern Football
"You have to trust your team mates - always. If not, we are lost" - the wonderful message of this film which is entirely under appreciated.
1992-1997. We won 2 leagues in a row with Cantona, he gets banned for 9 months and we don’t win the league. He comes back and we win another 2 leagues in a row. Cantona is the most influential player in Premier League history.
exactly,when he played for leeds,they won the league
Miss Eric. He had his priorities straight. Trust your team mates but now most footballers always want to be the hero.
yup just look at Ibrahimovic, he thinks he's it.
@@MelancholyMegan But Ibrahimovic is so over the top arrogant act that its fun.Ronaldo is just arrogant.
This is why we love football so much
When u see his attitude,u can do nothing but admire him
#LEGEND
Football's Living Legend "The King" Eric Cantona
LE PLUS GRAND FOOTBALLEUR FRANCAIS,
DE TOUS LES TEMPS.
CET HOMME, EST ROYAL...
Ibra was great but will never have a place in United hearts like Eric did . Oh ah Cantona !
King eric! We miss you. Come back home.
Cantona is the one reason I became a United fan as a 5 or 6 year old. It's amazing to think that one man had such a singular effect on the rest of my life. 34 years a red now.
Still United’s spiritual leader ❤️
I love Cantona!
The only Frenchman the English ever genuinely loved.
Henry as well mate
Edit : As a gunners I may be biased
@@bigbodybilly265 nah I like Henry as a Utd fan but Cantona was best ever , shame we couldnt see him in WC
I did just break in tears man, i am crying like a child, this is art
yes very poetic..they'll never be anyone like cantona and bestie come to that,both created miracles on the pitch like sons of god
Legend!!!!!
The fact that Eric’s favourite move in football was a “pass” to another player who scored the goal shows this legend was no self centred ball hungry player but a dedicated team player who happily let others take the glory.
He started something at Man U that lasted more then 20 years of winning. Him and Ferguson
love the fact we took him and Rio from Leeds the most iconic player in my time and arguably our best defender too. Maybe we take Kalvin next hahaha!
I cried.
As a Liverpool fan I have the greatest respect for Cantona, and this scene reminds me what a special time the 90's were...although we were garbage in that decade.
I'm not a football fan at all but this is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen❤🔥
I love this scene.
"I'm not a man, I'm Cantona" lol Oh ah Cantona.
his cantona, still cantona, it could be cantona, ohhh what a sensational goal, great skills and superb, the king still standing. MANCHESTER UNITED
1966 was a special year for English football
Eric Cantona was born.
I’m an Arsenal fan. Born too late to witness Cantona. Heard enough stories about him and i stumbled upon this film on Amazon Prime. Yeah this is one of the most beautiful moments in football cinema for me, the whole film about how the beautiful game changed our lives, even for a few hours or something…. Forever in our minds
If you’re anything like me, I marvel at the legendary spin round the corner and half volley of Bergkamp the same way I do the Cantona masterpiece against Sunderland
When the seagulls.... follow ze trawler........it isss because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea
owww, trip down memory lane, He was the "muse" for so many.
Love this movie quality as usual from Ken Loach genius of a director
OOH AH, OOH AH, OOH AH, CAN-TONA!
Great movie.
Right !!!! King of Old Trafford !
Great speech.....Pass..Trust ur teamates
best character in football ever long live king eric
Comme l' enfant
Que je fus,
Je chiale en regardant
Ces images.
En T' écoutant.
Merci,'eric'.
Not a massive footie fan, but cantona was sensational in the 90s
SUPERB
Am a Liverpool fan. Cantona gave me reason to watch man united joy to watch. Same as ronaldo. Joy to watch. Don't get me wrong am enjoying watching man united as a whole this season.
Ken Loach's most accessible, apolitical film with 'Ooo-Ah Cantona, Say Oooh-Ah Cantona!"
United could sure use Le King right now!
The KING ❤❤❤❤❤
I heard that Eric Cantona stripped naked and ran into the bushes of the jungle while yelling the word "Fish".
Haha I am not a Man, I am Cantona
Vive Eric!
I love this. Cantona was arrogant, but excellent nonetheless.
james kahongeh why was he arrogant? He was a quiet man who let his football do the talking.
Many of the greats in all sports were arrogant - Cruyff, Ali, McEnroe, Maradona, Senna...
He was a bit arrogant at times, but for the most part, he had self belief and he didn't take shit from people. A leader of men. Ooh aah Cantona.
When you're that ridiculously good at something it makes sense to boost it a few extra percent with arrogance. Why wouldn't you?
When football was great king Eric
❤️
Footage at 3.29 is the wrong wimbledon goal. He's describing the fa cup volley..
Say OO! AH! CANTONA! Say OO-AH CANTONA!
You can forget about all the other shit in your life for a couple of hours ,spot on by the way ,cheers Eric cheers Utd
I am not a man, I am Cantona 🇫🇷
⚡
can someone upload this movie
in 2022 we will see a movie "Looking for Zlatan"
This isnt a movie....... its a documentary!
The French king of England.
I've still not seen this film, so I'm not sure if it's addressed, but why does he imagine Cantona as he is now, and not as he was then? Shouldn't his image of him be in the full United kit sans 'tramp sage' beard?
kisbie well because how the hell would cantona become 15 years younger
Brian Eclairs
3 liverpool fan dislike
jacque siong 15 now
Eric Cantona is God
decent actor for sure
Have no fear, Zlatan is here
Zlatan will be the new Cantona
There is only one Cantona.
Decent movie but utterly ridiculous clownshow ending.
Awful cheesy dialogue
4:43 I AM CANTONA
