One Night in Turin is a 2010 British documentary film directed by James Erskine, and written by Pete Davies and Erskine. The documentary is about the England football team during 1990 FIFA World Cup and left the nation undone by West Germany on penalties in the semi-final. It looks at the social and political context of the event as well as how it changed people's perception of football and the England team.
Background
Adapted from[1] Pete Davies' 1990 eye-witness account All Played Out,[2][3][4] a memoir of the England football team's World Cup adventure at the 1990 World Cup.[5] The film weaves together the strands of a narrative which has a distinctive arc.[6]
The film only uses archive footage – there are no modern contextual interviews, all the footage is from the time. The match action is intercut with reconstructed, modern-day footage.[7]
Synopsis
The film revisits the iconic footballing footage:
Setting the World Cup in a wider socio-political context,
It is subtitled: The Inside Story of a World Cup that Changed Our Footballing Nation Forever.[6] Erskine sticks closely to Davies' book meaning he never strays far from the narrative of Davies' book.[9]

Reception
Tom Dawson of
Kevin Pocock of Den of Geek rated the film 2/5 and described is as "a well-constructed, finely narrated, re-stitching of that titular night in Turin, intriguing for those who didn't witness the events when they happened, and equally so for those who haven't mulled it to death since."[10] Ronald Short of College Movie Review scored the film a D− and said, "For an indie film, it's decent. I'm sure the soccer fans will love it, but as for the rest of us? It's nothing really worth watching."[17]
