Close-ups and slow motion sequences of McEnroe competing, as well as instances of his notorious temper tantrums, highlight a ”man who played on the edge of his senses.” Far from a traditional documentary, Faraut probes the archival film to unpack both McEnroe’s attention to the sport and the footage itself, creating a lively and immersive look at a driven athlete, a study on the sport of tennis and the human body and movement, and finally how these all intersect with cinema itself.","html":"<iframe src=\"https://embed.vhx.tv/packages/36781\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen></iframe>","width":1280,"height":720,"thumbnail_url":"https://vhx.imgix.net/johnmcenroe/assets/cf9c1818-00c7-4a67-ad7f-02b1990b7ae3.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=crop&h=360&q=70&w=640","thumbnail_width":640,"thumbnail_height":360}
