Roddick Tennis
Wimbledon: The 2004 Official Film features the championship runs of Roger Federerer and Maria Sharapova. While beating Andy Roddick was just another day at the office for the top-ranked Federerer, Russian teen Sharapova turned heads by offering a fresh new face on the women’s tour, and it didn’t hurt a bit that the face looked like that of a model–”Anna Kournikova with a title,” she was quickly dubbed. Other moments of the fortnight captured here include Goran Ivanesevic’s farewell, the scoring controversy that might have cost Venus Williams a match, and–because this is a British production–Tim Henman’s latest attempt to keep the Wimbledon crown at home. At only 52 minutes, however, there’s not a whole lot of time to devote to actual game footage, and the camera has a dizzying habit of cutting to a close-up of a player in the middle of a point, making it hard to follow the action. The short running time makes Wimbledon: The 2004 Official Film feel somewhat like a relic from the VHS days, but it certainly looks good in anamorphic widescreen. –David Horiuchi
