Following its critically acclaimed premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, Cantona: Flower of Evil comes to Manchester for a very special screening, followed by an extraordinary reunion: Éric Cantona and Sir Alex Ferguson together on stage for the very first time and for one night only.
At this unique live event at Aviva Studios on 7 December, forty years after Ferguson took charge of Manchester United, join two of the club’s most celebrated figures in the city where they made football history.
The film tells the story of a fiercely independent maverick who bridled against authority whenever he felt its grip tighten, and the manager who channelled the brilliance of this most captivating and unpredictable of athletes. Cantona: Flower of Evil reveals how their unlikely friendship provided the spark that ignited a dynasty at Manchester United.
The feature documentary includes interviews with Éric Cantona, Sir Alex Ferguson, Guy Roux and Sir David Beckham, and is directed and produced by David Tryhorn & Ben Nicholas (Pelé, El Caso Figo, Untold: Vinnie Jones).
After the screening, Cantona and Ferguson will share personal memories of their years together and reflect on the relationship that defined an era at Old Trafford. That same evening, participating cinemas across the UK and Ireland will screen the film and broadcast the in-conversation live from Aviva Studios.
