FILM INFO

Feature Documentary | 90 min | Italy | 2014 | Directed by Mario Bucci

A docu-feature about 2013/2014 season of Bari Football Club and the first “happy” failure in times of crisis. 

Directed by Mario Bucci and produced by Dinamo Film, with the contribution of Apulia Film Commission through the “Regional Fun”, “Una meravigliosa stagione fallimentare”, is the final step of a trilogy based on a great passion for this team and its ups and downs. The idea for this story has its origin in a simple, yet inspiring, fact: football in Bari is everything but normal.

A “failure” enthusiastically welcomed by supporters and seen as a rebirth for their beloved team.

A Wonderful Season of Failure tells a story experienced by the entire city during the last unforgettable season. A story made of chance circumstances, where the unpredictable just...happens. 

• A city, hurt by the 2011 match fixing scandal.
• A team with no management.
• The bankruptcy.
• The viral campaign #compratelabari.
• The extraordinary come back, from the 17th to the 7th position in the league table. 
• Two auctions where no one showed up.
• The new management.
• The contagious enthusiasm of a city, which starts believing in football again.
• The playoffs... And the (un)happy ending.
• This film contains adult language.
