One Man Up () is a 2001 Italian comedy-drama film. It entered the "Cinema del presente" section at the 58th Venice International Film Festival. It marked the directorial debut of Paolo Sorrentino, who was awarded Nastro d'Argento for Best New Director. The film also won the Ciak d'oro for the script and the Grolla d'oro to actor Toni Servillo.
Plot Set during the eighties, the film charts the decline of two men both named Antonio Pisapia who lead entirely separate yet strangely parallel lives. One is a pop singer who finds himself washed up after a sex scandal ends his run of success; the other a football hero whose playing career is abruptly cut short by injury.
