Lauded Palme d'Or winning director Ken Loach crafts a whimsical dramedy that skillfully walks the tricky line between the comedic and the serious. Eric Bishop is a wreck. One of his panic attacks has just spurred a car crash that landed him in the hospital. His job at the post office sucks. His second wife walked out on him, saddling him with two teenagers from hell. He's estranged from his first wife and their daughter. Even the efforts of his well-meaning work buddies can't pull Eric from his slump. In fact, the only thing holding him back from the edge seems to be his devotion to the Manchester United football team. One night, after inhaling a healthy measure of marijuana, the ghost of former Manchester United star Eric Cantona materializes to offer advice. Coached by his idol, Bishop sets out to put his life on track. —Palm Springs International Film Festival
