Boris Becker Thrives When He Survives
15 June 2023
This two-part series adds more to Boris Becker and his almost never-ending scandalous life as perspectives from him and those around him add their views on Boris' life. Its a bit cinematic as it retains a mix of interviews, archival footage, and fantasy-like breaks in time.

Its pretty good. Boris is shown as someone in a battle against the world even when things were presumably going his way. Elements of spaghetti westerns such music, screen titles, and camera shots are used throughout the film(s). Blues music specifically, the song "Boom Boom" by John Lee Hooker adds character to Boris' tales of survival on and off the court.

If you love tennis the many faces and references will make you feel your at home. If you are more unfamiliar with tennis (like myself) this doc provides enough drama and explanation of details that you will feel more than welcome to sit back and watch the life of a legend. Either way give it a watch.
