Ange & the Boss: Puskas in Australia

MEET THE FILMMAKER: Friday March 21, 6.40pm - Join directors Tony Wilson and Cam Fink for a post-film Q&A. 

The improbable story of all-time great Hungarian striker Ferenc Puskás and his time in Australia, ANGE & THE BOSS is an entertaining documentary from directors Tony Wilson and Cam Fink. 

Barely able to speak English, Puskás united and inspired South Melbourne Hellas to a dramatic NSL Championship win in 1991; eating, drinking, and enjoying himself along the way. His captain and protégé was Ange Postecoglou, now Tottenham manager and one of Australia’s most successful sporting exports. Ange and his Hellas teammates – including Paul Trimboli, Miki Petersen, Gus Tsolakis and Con Boutsianis – light up the screen with their love and appreciation for Puskás and the aura he generated.

A sports documentary and a look back at life in Australia, ANGE & THE BOSS highlights immigrant identity and belonging, gluttonous pasta consumption, and the broken window winder in Ange Postecoglou’s Datsun 200B. Fun and funny, poignant and reverent, it captures a lesser-known side of Melbourne’s history.
