directorial

Goal
Wins,
which

be
a
comedic
soccer
film,
based
on
a
documentary
under

name.
The
film
dives
deep
into
the
legendary
football
coach
Thomas
Rongen's
journey
of
leading
the
American
Samoan
team
from
a
disastrous
defeat
to
a
spectacular
win

the
2014
World
Cup.
After
his
critically
acclaimed
films
'Jojo
Rabbit'
and
'Thor',
Taika
recently
admitted
to
drawing
inspiration
from
Indian
films
in
his
early
work
days.
Praising
Satyajit
Ray's
work
and
talking
about
his
favourite
Indian
films
he
said
"Of
course,
the
Satyajit
Ray
film
'Pather
Panchali'
[1955].
It
was
beautiful
and
very
inspirational
when
I
was
making
my
early
films.
Next
is
the
fabulous
'ABCD'
which
is
a
fantastic
big
film
which
I
think
everyone
should
watch."
