Overview
In 1981, Roland-Garros management offers William Klein the exclusive opportunity to film the tournament. As a tennis fan, the photographer accepts without hesitation and directs The French, a mythic documentary. Nearly 35 years later, In the French presents a contemporary snapshot of a stadium that has gone through major changes—yet the Roland Garros DNA carries on with passion, anxiety and joy. The greatest tennis generation since 1981 is immor- talized by an outstanding cast: Nadal, Djokovic, Federer, Murray, Tsonga, Serena Williams…In the French is a story of the yellow ball and the evolution of this Grand Slam tournament.
