‘Nasty’: Watch Trailer For Cannes World Premiere Documentary On Ilie Nastase, A Tennis Bad Boy Before John McEnroe Ever Cursed An Ump
Days before the start of the French Open in Paris, there’s going to be some tennis action at the Cannes Film Festival – with one of the greatest players ever.
Thursday will mark the world premiere of Nasty, a documentary about the brilliant Romanian pro Ilie Nastase – who at the height of his career was one of the most gifted, entertaining, and polarizing figures in sport.
Tudor Giurgiu, Cristian Pascariu and Tudor D. Popescu directed the film, which debuts in the Special Screenings section of Cannes. Goodfellas is handling international sales as part of its new sports-focused sales label, Oui Michel. We have your first look at the film in the trailer above.
